What is Spot Trading?

Spot trading, or the “spot price,” refers to the purchase and selling of coins and tokens at the current market rate with the purpose of having immediate possession of the underlying asset. Delivery denotes that both the buyer and the seller have kept their end of the bargain. In a successful transaction, the buyer and seller both immediately deliver the financial asset, satisfying the desire for trade right away on both sides. 

An easy approach to invest and trade is through spot trading. When investing in cryptocurrencies initially, your experience will probably involve a spot transaction on the spot market, such as purchasing ETH at the market price and HODLing.

How to Spot Trade Crypto on ProEX?

In three simple steps, you will be ready to start crypto spot trading on ProEX.

1. Login to ProEX
   
   Register an account with ProEX and sign in. If you do not have a ProEX account, click here to sign up.

2. Proceed to the Crypto Spot Trade page
   
   After signing in and depositing funds, hover your mouse over ‘Trade’ and select ‘Classic’.
   
3. Navigating ProEX’s Spot Trade interface
   
   The interface is split into 5 main sections. Below are the details for each section;

1. Spot Pairs
   Although the spot pairs are displayed in section 1, you can view any of the other spot pairs in section 5 by clicking on it. Alternatively, you may search for a specific crypto pair (that is not shown immediately in the main area e.g. BTC/USDT) to display the pair’s recent trades, price chart and order book.
   
   The crypto pair that is being traded is referred to as a “trading pair.” Trading pairs are valued in relation to their “base pair,” which is the currency used to quote an exchange rate. In this example, the base currency in the BTC/USDT trading pair, which expresses the price of BTC in terms of USDT, is BTC while the quote currency is USDT.

2. Order Book
   You will find the order book on the left side of the interface. The order book is also commonly known as the depth of market. For a chosen crypto asset, the order book shows a live list of open buy and sell orders. For instance, assuming that the current price for one UNI is 6.55 USDT, the order book will display the number of orders at 6.60 USDT, 6.50 USDT, etc.
   
   The “buy-side” and “sell-side” are the two components of the order book. The “sell-side” displays all open sell orders below the price that was last exchanged. Buyer offers are referred to as “bids.” The order book’s bottom half contains a list of open buy orders. On the other hand, all open sell orders over the most recent traded price are displayed by the “sell-side”. The cost is referred to as the “ask” price.  The upper half of the order book displays a list of open orders for a specific pairing.
   
3. TradingView Chart
   Options for chart display in the TradingView window include candlesticks, bars, hollow candles, line, area, baseline and more. In this guide, we will elaborate solely on our default chart display configuration of candlesticks.

Each candle shows what occurred to the price of a crypto asset at a specific moment at a glance. You may change the time period shown by the candle by clicking on “60min” above the price chart.

Let’s examine a candle’s anatomy in more detail. You can see a long line running through the “body” of the candle in the screenshot up top; this is the wick. The high, open, low, and close of each candle are the four bits of information displayed.

The highest price that was realized during a specific time period is known as the “high”. The price of an asset at the outset of a given time frame is known as the “open”. The lowest price that was realized during a specific time period is the “low.”. The price of a cryptocurrency asset at the ultimate end of a certain time frame is the “close,” after which a new candle starts. Therefore, the “wick” represents the “high” and “low,” and the colored portion of the candle, also known as the “body,” represents the “open” and “close.”

4. Buy and Sell Crypto – Limit or Market Order
   The section to the bottom of the TradingView Chart lets you trade crypto by creating market and limit orders, done so by clicking on either the ‘Limit’ or ‘Market’ tab.
   
   Limit Order:
   This order type enables users to plan ahead for spot trades. By submitting a limit order, traders can decide at what price to buy or sell cryptocurrency. The trader’s order will be carried out when the market reaches the limit price.
   
   Market Order:
   A market order is one that is filled right away at the going rate of the market. When they want to finish their order as quickly as possible, traders employ this order type. There is no price entry required for traders who create market orders.
