What are margins?
Margins represent the difference between your offer price and the current market price of Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies). They help determine your potential profit or loss in a trade. By adjusting margins, you can set your offer price either above or below the market rate—essentially adding a buyer’s or seller’s “fee” to the transaction.
How do margins affect selling crypto?
When selling crypto, a positive margin (+) means you're offering your crypto at a price higher than the market value, which increases your potential profit. On the other hand, a negative margin (−) means you're selling below the market rate, which reduces your profit or could even result in a loss.
How do margins affect buying crypto?
When buying crypto, a positive margin (+) means you're purchasing at a price above the market rate, which could lead to higher costs. A negative margin (−) means you're buying below the current market price, allowing you to potentially save money on the purchase.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. To begin, click the Create an Offer button at the top of the page.
2. Choose whether you want to buy or sell crypto and select your preferred payment method, then proceed to the trade pricing section.
3. In this section, you’ll find the Offer Margin setting.
Note:
Offer margins are done in percentages, not in specific currency amounts.4. You can set your Offer Margin as either a positive (+) or negative (−) percentage.
5. There are two margin options:
Basic: Simply enter the percentage you want to use for your Offer Margin.
Advanced: Choose from multiple market price sources such as Gemini, Kraken, Bitstamp, or Bitfinex, and set your preferred price point.
6. Once you’ve configured your Offer Margin, you’re done with this step! You can now continue setting up the rest of your offer as usual.
