In theory, a Maker is an order that adds liquidity to the order book and a Taker is an order that removes liquidity.
In practice, there are some edge cases on CoinList Pro that one should be aware of.
1. A market order is a taker unless:
2. A limit order is a maker unless:
In order to prevent prevent large slippage on the exchange, CoinList Pro employs price protections on its market and limit orders.
This is the maximum (buy market) and minimum (sell market) price that can be executed via a market order. If a market order has remaining unfilled quantity, it will effectively become a resting limit order at the maximum/minimum price.
This is the maximum buy limit and minimum sell limit price that can be submitted via a limit order. There is no minimum limit on a buy limit price or maximum limit on a sell limit price.
If an order is a Stop Limit Order, the Reference Price is the Stop Price, otherwise it is chosen in the following order:
1. Last Trade Price
2. Best bid if it is higher than, or best ask if it is lower than, the previous midpoint quote.
CoinList Pro supports several order types, including:
A market order is the most straightforward type of order. It executes immediately against the best price available. As long as there are willing buyers and sellers, market orders are filled.
A market sell will match the best available bids on the order book, and a market buy will match against the best available asks on the order book.
Market orders are often used when you need to prioritize speed over price, for example, when taking advantage of a fast-moving bull run. You'll use this order when you need your trade to execute immediately at the current best price available.
A limit order allows you to specify a price and amount you would like to buy or sell at.
Example: If the current market price is 8000 and you want to buy lower than that at 7900, then you would place a limit buy order at 7900. If the market reaches 7900 and a seller’s ask matches with your bid, your limit order will be executed at 7900.
CoinList Pro supports two kinds of triggerable orders: stops and take profits. These are orders that aren't added to the order book until some price threshold is reached.
A stop market or stop limit order is an instruction to add a market or limit order to the book once the trigger price has crossed the stop price. By default, the stop price indicates the mark price at which to trigger the stop, but stops may also be configured to trigger on last trade price or underlying index price rather than mark price.
Stop orders rest in the matching engine until the trigger price goes 'outside' the stop price:
Upon triggering, the stop order is converted to a regular market or limit order. This order becomes available for execution in the first auction following the one which triggered the stop. The order will incur the standard fees, as any order inserted at the time of the trigger would.
While it is untriggered, a stop order is invisible to other traders, and is not included in the book. Once it is triggered it becomes visible (as it is now a normal market or limit order).
Note that the time priority of the order is based on the time at which it was triggered, rather than the time at which the stop was last updated.
A stop market order may be specified with either a fixed or percentage trail value, which causes the stop price to be pegged to no more than a fixed offset away from the order's trigger price (which is a mark price, index price, or last trade price, depending on the order's specified trigger type).
When the trigger price moves away from the current stop price, the stop price is moved as well, thus the stop price trails the trigger price. (Note however that when the trigger price moves towards the current stop price, the stop price doesn't change, otherwise the order would never trigger.)
For example, on a stop market sell order, setting a $-100 trail value will have the effect of setting the stop price $100 below the trigger price. If the trigger price is $1000 at the time the order is entered, the stop price will be $900. If the trigger price moves up to $1050, the stop price will be updated to $950. If the trigger price then moves down to $990, the stop price will stay at $950, and if the trigger price keeps moving all the way down to $950, the order will be triggered, and will convert to a normal market sell.
In other words, the stop price of a stop sell order will move up along with the market, but is kept constant as the price falls towards the stop (and vice-versa for a stop buy order).
A take market or take limit order is the same as a stop market or limit order, but with the trigger directions reversed. That is:
The post-only order is a limit order that ensures the order will be added to the book and not match with a pre-existing order. If your order matches with a pre-existing order, your post-only limit order will be rejected.
The Post-Only Order ensures that you will receive the maker rebate, and not pay a taker fee. It prevents placing a limit buy order that matches against the sell side of the order book (and vice versa, for sell orders), which would normally result in taker fees.
Market orders refer to trades that are purchasing a given asset at the current market price (i.e. spot price) for the asset. You can place a market order by following these instructions:
