What are the Default Trade Settings When I Use the 'Basic Trade' Form?
Buying The Coins
- A stop buy order is used to purchase the coins
- The entry price is the trigger
- The system checks for the price of the coin to be Less than or Equal to this value
- A market buy order is placed when the trigger condition is met
- If you enable the 'Market Buy' option, the system will buy the coins at the current market price.
Note:
Laddering mode is ON by default.

Why are these the basic settings?

- Market orders mean that you always buy and sell the amount intended which reduces confusion.
- The last price to follow is less confusing as it matches the price charts found online.
