SECURED FINANCE USER GUIDE
Placing Limit Order
Test Pilot V2 Training Program
Let’s place some limit orders on Secured Finance Orderbook. Before we blast off, make sure you’re connected to our platform, have some ETH in your wallet, and are ready to make waves. New here? Don’t worry! Our user guide at the bottom of the page will get you up to speed.
In the world of trading, a limit order is a type of order to buy or sell an asset at a specific price or better. On Secured Finance platform, you have the power to dictate your own price for the limit order, which can range from 0 to 100. However, it’s important to understand that not all limit orders will appear in the Orderbook. If you place an overlapping limit order, it acts as a market order and gets filled immediately; hence it will not appear in the Orderbook.
Go to our Advanced UI by toggling from Simple to Advanced on our webapp.
Our Advanced UI shows a more comprehensive view on each Orderbook.
Let’s choose your asset. (Select Bitcoin as your asset.)
Now, choose your maturity date (currently, we offer up to 2 years loans.)
For the purpose of this guide, we’re going to choose Limit and set a limit order price that does not overlap the bid-ask spread. This ensures that our order will be clearly visible in the Orderbook. Now, punch in the amount of Bitcoin you’re looking to borrow or lend, and hit ‘Place Order’.
Need some insider knowledge on setting the perfect price? Check out this tip that spills the beans on price-setting strategies.
Borrowing
Placing a borrow limit order? Remember first to provide collateral. You can borrow up to 80% (LTV) of your collateral.
Lending
Placing a lend limit order? Choose your source. Lend from your wallet or your asset held at Secured Finance’s Vault.
Confirmation Window
After placing orders, you will see a confirmation window popping up (we’re always adding cool stuff, so stay tuned!). Double-check the details, and when you’re ready, click ‘OK’.
Once ‘OK’ is clicked, you will need to confirm execution using your MetaMask wallet.
A few seconds later, you’ll get confirmation that it succeeded. The Transaction Hash will bring you to view your transactions on Etherscan.
Where is my order?
Let’s head over to the Orderbook. Here, you can see your order listed among others.
