Trading pairs are assets that can be traded for each other on an exchange. A trading pair consists of a base asset and a quote asset:
  • Base Asset: The first cryptocurrency in the pair, which you’re buying or selling.
  • Quote asset: The second cryptocurrency, in which prices are quoted.
For example, in the BNB/BTC trading pair, BNB is the base asset, and BTC is the quote asset.

3. Let's take buying BTC as an example. Select a BTC trading pair, such as BTC/USDC.
4. Click [Spot] on the top right and select [Buy]. Then, choose between [Limit], [Market], or [Stop-limit] orders and enter the price and amount you wish to purchase. You may also drag the bar below the [Amount] field to customize the percentage of the Spot Wallet balance to use for the order.
5. Click [Buy BTC] to place the order.
Note:
  • The default order type is a limit order. You can use a market order if you want an order filled as soon as possible. For more information, please refer to What are Market Order and Limit Order, and How to Place Them.
  • For example, if BTC is trading at 65000 USDC, but you want to buy it at 63000 USDC, you can place a limit order. Your order will be executed when the market price drops to 63000 USDC.
You can customize your Spot trading interface with the following features:

1. Customize the time zone

You can view the price change percentages in different time zones using the [Change(%) & Chart Timezone] function.

1. Hover over the [Settings] icon, and click [Change(%) & Chart Timezone].
2. Select a time zone, and the price change percentage will update accordingly. Please note that this function only applies to the price change percentage, not the candlestick chart.

2. Order confirmation

When the [Order Confirmation] function is enabled, you’ll see a confirmation pop-up that requires you to click [Continue] before placing an order.
You can click the [Settings] icon and toggle on the button next to the order types you wish to receive an additional order confirmation for.
