⚙️ Why Use the Exchange Platform?

📈 Set Limit Orders to buy or sell at a specific price
🛑 Use Stop Orders to limit potential losses

⚠️ Price Warnings (Slippage Alerts)
Coinmetro’s new Price Warning feature helps you make smarter trading decisions by alerting you if your order could be affected by slippage (a difference between the expected and executed price).
Here’s how it works:
No warning if slippage is below 3%
🟢 Green warning: 3.00% – 4.99%
🟠 Orange warning: 5.00% – 9.99%
🔴 Red warning: 10% or more
These alerts appear when you:
Place a new market or limit order
Edit an existing order
They’re available on both the Exchange and Margin platforms.
Important Note: Spread is not currently included in this calculation, and warnings won’t appear when doubling or closing a percentage of active Margin positions.
