Trade crypto

Hi, I’m Nora, Pinnora’s animated guide.

In this video, you’ll learn how to buy and sell crypto on Pinnora’s Trade page.

First, we’ll open Trade, choose a pair,

and read the market.

Then we’ll place a market order,

which fills straight away.

And a limit order, which waits for the price you choose.

Finally, we’ll check your orders, and cancel one.

To start, tap the plus button at the bottom of Home.

Quick actions opens. Tap “Trade”.

The Trade page opens, ready to buy and sell crypto at live prices.

You can also start from a coin’s own page, like ether here.

Tap “Buy” or “Sell”, and Trade opens on that coin.

On a computer, “Trade” is in the menu on the left.

The chart and the order panel sit side by side.

Everything works just as it does on your phone.

At the top is the pair you’re trading.

A pair is what you buy, and what you pay with.

Here, it’s ether, priced in US dollars.

Tap the pair to see them all.

They’re grouped by what they’re priced in: US dollars, USDT, USDC,

bitcoin and ether.

Tap a chip to see just one group.

Or search by name or symbol, like BTC.

Tap a pair to choose it. We’ll take bitcoin, in US dollars.

The “Live” label means the price is current.

If prices are delayed, it says so here.

Just under the price, you can see when it last updated.

Beside the price is the change over the last 24 hours, as a percentage.

Below, you’ll find the 24-hour change in dollars,

and the high and low.

The chart shows how the price has moved.

Switch between 1H, 1D, 1W, 1M and 1Y.

Each one redraws the chart: here’s one month, then one year.

Then back to one day.

Touch and slide along the chart to see the price at any moment.

Now let’s buy some bitcoin. The order panel is just below the chart.

“Buy” is already selected, and so is “Market”.

A market order fills now, at the live price.

You can type the amount of bitcoin,

or the total you want to spend.

Let’s spend $50. Tap “Total”, and type 50.

The amount of bitcoin is worked out for you.

Check the fee, and what you’ll receive.

You pay from your trading account first,

then your funding wallet.

Then tap “Buy BTC”.

A last check shows the price now, the amount, the fee, what you pay,

and what you receive.

If the price moves against you by more than 1% before your order reaches us,

nothing happens, and you’re asked again.

Happy with it? Tap “Buy BTC” to confirm.

Done. Your bitcoin is in your trading account.

A limit order lets you choose your price.

It waits, and fills only at exactly that price.

Let’s sell a little ether. Open the pairs, search for ETH,

and choose ether in US dollars.

In the order panel, tap “Sell”, then “Limit”.

A “Limit price” box appears, with the market price under it as a guide.

A sell limit must be above the market price.

A buy limit must be below it.

Set it on the wrong side, and the app tells you straight away.

We’ll ask for about 5% above the market.

Now the amount. These buttons use a share of what’s available.

Tap 25% to sell a quarter of your ether.

At your price, you can see what you’ll receive.

Tap “Sell ETH”, and check it over.

Your ether is set aside while the order waits.

You can cancel it at any time to get it back.

Tap “Sell ETH” to place it.

Your order now waits under “Open orders”.

It shows your limit price, and how far it is from the market.

When the market reaches your price, it fills,

and you get a notification.

Changed your mind? Tap “Cancel”, check the order,

then tap “Cancel order”.

What was set aside comes straight back to your balance.

The “My trades” tab keeps the record:

each fill with its price, and each cancelled order.

Tap “Details” on a fill to see its full record.

Each filled order also appears in your Transaction history.

A few things worth knowing.

Market orders fill now, at the live price.

Limit orders wait for your price.

Whatever you buy, or receive from a sale,

lands in your trading account.

Crypto prices can move quickly,

and a filled order is final. Take a moment to check before you confirm.

Now you know how to trade crypto on Pinnora.

Open Trade, and choose a pair.

Read the price, and the chart.

A market order fills now, at the live price.

A limit order waits for your price. Check the fee, then confirm.

And cancel an open order to get back what was set aside.
