Spot Trading is one of the most popular ways to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. On PLUBIT Exchange, Spot Trading allows you to trade digital assets at the current market price or set your own preferred price using different order types.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced trader, this guide will help you understand how Spot Trading works and how to place your first trade on PLUBIT Exchange.

What Is Spot Trading?

Spot Trading is the direct buying and selling of cryptocurrencies for immediate settlement. When your order is executed, the purchased cryptocurrency is credited to your wallet, while the asset you used for payment is deducted from your balance.

Unlike leveraged trading, Spot Trading involves trading with the assets you already own, making it a straightforward way to participate in the crypto market.

Why Trade on the Spot Market?

Spot Trading offers several advantages:

• Buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly
• Trade using real market prices
• Access a wide range of supported trading pairs
• Suitable for both beginners and experienced traders
• No borrowing or leverage required

Before You Start

Before placing your first Spot Trade, make sure you have:

• A registered PLUBIT account
• Completed any required Identity Verification (KYC)
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled for enhanced security
• Funds available in your Spot Wallet
• A basic understanding of cryptocurrency market risks

Step 1: Log in to Your PLUBIT Account

Visit the official PLUBIT Exchange website and sign in using your registered email address and password.

After logging in, navigate to the Spot Trading section from the main navigation menu.

Step 2: Select a Trading Pair

Choose the cryptocurrency pair you want to trade.

Examples include:

• BTC/USDT
• ETH/USDT
• Other supported trading pairs

The first asset is the cryptocurrency you want to buy or sell, while the second asset is the currency used to complete the trade.

Step 3: Explore the Trading Interface

Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the trading page.

You'll typically find:

• Live price chart
• Order Book
• Recent Trades
• Market information
• Buy and Sell order panels
• Open Orders
• Order History

Understanding these tools can help you make more informed trading decisions.

Step 4: Choose an Order Type

PLUBIT may offer different order types depending on the market.

Market Order

A Market Order executes immediately at the best available market price.

This option is ideal for users who want to complete a trade quickly.

Limit Order

A Limit Order allows you to specify the exact price at which you want to buy or sell.

The order will remain open until the market reaches your selected price or until you cancel it.

Choose the order type that best matches your trading strategy.

Step 5: Enter Your Trade Details

Depending on whether you're buying or selling:

• Select Buy or Sell
• Enter the amount you want to trade
• Review the estimated total
• Confirm the selected order type

Some trading interfaces may also include percentage shortcuts such as 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of your available balance.

Step 6: Review Your Order

Before placing your order, carefully review:

• Trading pair
• Buy or Sell selection
• Order type
• Price
• Quantity
• Estimated total
• Trading fee (if applicable)

Double-check all information before proceeding.

Step 7: Place Your Trade

Click Buy or Sell to submit your order.

If you selected:

• Market Order: Your trade may execute immediately.
• Limit Order: Your order will remain in the order book until your specified price is reached.

Step 8: Monitor Your Orders

After placing your trade, monitor its status through:

• Open Orders
• Order History
• Trade History

Possible statuses include:

• Open
• Partially Filled
• Filled
• Cancelled

Step 9: Check Your Wallet Balance

Once your order has been executed, your Wallet or Assets page will automatically reflect your updated balances.

You can now:

• Hold your cryptocurrency
• Continue trading
• Transfer assets between wallets (if applicable)
• Withdraw your cryptocurrency to an external wallet
