A sell order is executed partially or in full when the price asked can be matched against a buy order that is at or above the ask amount. Orders that cannot be matched immediately remain in the orderbook until the defined order validity date. All orders must be funded, the exchange does not support unfunded orders.
Fees
The trading fees are 0.15% from each party of successful trades. The fees are, by default, subtracted from the proceeds of each trade.
