# Spot Trading Operation Guide

In spot trading, investors can profit from cryptocurrency price increases by buying crypto assets.

***

**Step 1: Transfer Funds**

Before starting spot trading, make sure your **spot account has sufficient balance**.

* Go to **\[Assets]** to check your spot account holdings.
* If your funds are sufficient, proceed to Step 2.
* If you need to transfer funds from another account to your spot account, click **\[Transfer]**.

You can:

* Transfer from **Wallet Account → Spot Account**, or
* Click the **switch icon** to reverse direction.
* Enter the transfer amount, click **\[Confirm Transfer]**, and the funds will be moved successfully.

***

**Step 2: Buy Crypto**

You can profit from market price fluctuations by buying a cryptocurrency.

* **Buying** means you expect the price of a cryptocurrency to rise in the future.

**Buy Example (Buy BTC at Market Price):**

> App → Trade → Spot → Switch to \[Buy] → Tap \[Market Order] → Enter \[Amount to Buy] → Tap \[Buy BTC]

***

**Order Types**

1. **Market Order** Buy at the current market price by entering the amount to spend.
2. **Limit Order**
   * Set a price at which you want to buy.
   * The system will execute the order at the **more favorable price** between the market and your set price.
   * If the market price is better, the order is executed immediately.
   * If your price is better, the system waits until the market hits your price.
3. **Conditional Order**
   * Set a **trigger price** and a **limit price**.
   * The order won’t activate until the market reaches your trigger price.
   * Once triggered, it becomes a limit order and follows the normal execution logic.

***

**Step 3: Sell Crypto**

* **Selling** means you expect the price of your crypto holdings to fall.

**Sell Example (Sell BTC at Market Price):**

> App → Trade → Spot → Switch to \[Sell] → Tap \[Market Order] → Enter \[Amount to Sell] → Tap \[Sell BTC]

***

**Step 4: View Order History**

After placing a buy or sell order, you can view all historical trades.

Includes:

* Order type
* Transaction price
* Volume
* Order type (Maker/Taker)
* Fees

**Check Path:**

> App → Trade → Spot → All → Order History → Select the relevant order

#### **Spot Trading Fees & Minimum Order Size** <a href="#h_01k2bt75gey04sbvbkn3vh0vna" id="h_01k2bt75gey04sbvbkn3vh0vna"></a>

***

**1. Trading Fee Standards**

* **Maker (Post Order):** 0.05%
* **Taker (Instant Execution):** 0.05%

***

**Fee Calculation:**

* **Buy Fee** = Buy Volume × Fee Rate
* **Sell Fee** = Sell Price × Sell Volume × Fee Rate

***

**BTC/USDT Example:**

* **Buying BTC (spending USDT):** Fee is deducted in **BTC**
* **Selling BTC (receiving USDT):** Fee is deducted in **USDT**

> Note: Fees are only charged on completed trades. Unfilled orders are not charged.

***

**Buy Example (Maker Order):**

* Buy **XRP/USDT** (buying XRP)
* Order Type: Maker
* Trade Volume: 200 XRP
* Fee = 200 × 0.05% = **0.1 XRP**

***

**Sell Example (Taker Order):**

* Sell **ETH/USDT** (selling ETH)
* Order Type: Taker
* Price: 4000 USDT
* Volume: 1 ETH
* Fee = 4000 × 1 × 0.05% = **2 USDT**

***

**2. Minimum Order Size per Token**

The minimum order amount is **10 USDT**.

* **Minimum Order Quantity = 10 / Current Token Price**
