Setting up a trade
Once you’ve picked an asset, building a trade takes a few choices:
- Choose a target price from the grid, above or below the current price.
- Choose how long the trade stays live.
- Set your stake — the amount you want to commit.
Confirming
Before you confirm, the ticket shows your cost, the fee, the potential payout, and the profit condition. Nothing is committed until you confirm, so review the numbers and make sure they reflect what you intend.
How it settles
After you confirm, the trade is live. Runtil watches the price against your target for the duration you chose. If the price reaches your target in time, the trade settles in your favor and the payout is credited to your balance. If it doesn’t, the trade settles at a loss capped at your stake.
