Here traders can manage active orders and open positions. This module is highly customizable and allows traders to add/remove desired info columns, filter orders and positions by date as well as view orders and positions history.
Chart and Multi-Charting Tools
The Chart module is on of the most crucial tools when trading as it provides traders with direct information about the current market movement, price trends of an asset and other valuable information.
At Margex, we offer a unique multi-chart feature. This feature allows traders to open and view multiple charts simultaneously, providing more tools to keep track of your favorite coins and never miss out on potential trading opportunities.
To choose your multi-chart layout, simply click on the layout options button in the top-right corner of the charting module and choose the amount of charts and their layout to be reflected on your Trade page.
Below the layout options, you can also choose from a range of additional settings to further customize your active multi-charts and make them even easier and more convenient to use:
Symbol - applies the same Symbol (Asset) to all charts on the page, if changed
Interval - applies the same candle time frame to all charts on the page, if changed
Crosshair - synchronizes your cursor movements between all chart on the page, when applied
Time - when applied, clicking anywhere on one of the charts, will take you to the same point in time on all other charts on the page
Date range - applies the same date range (i.e. 1d, 1m, 1y, etc.) to all charts on the page, if changed.
Margex charts are plotted based on the last price an asset was traded at.
We aggregate liquidity from a pool of liquidity providers (12 currently) and by arbitraging between them, we are able to provide the best possible price, which reflects the pricings across exchanges (liquidity providers) from which liquidity is aggregated.
When trading, we recommend following Margex charts if referring to an asset's price.
Order Book and Last Trades
Order book and Last Trades module are crucial tools when trading as they provide traders with direct information about the current market depth, traders' intentions and volatility.
The Order Book reflects the current Buy (ask) and Sell (bid) Limit orders of market participants as well as details regarding market depth. The Order Book acts as an additional instrument that helps traders monitor market activity and provides valuable information for traders when reviewing the current market trends
Last Trades reflects the last performed trades on the market in real time. This provides additional valuable information for traders when making trading decisions
We utilize the charting engine provided by TradingView for our chart solution. It offers advanced charting tools and creates an environment where market enthusiasts can engage, analyze data, and prepare for trading activities involving BTCUSD and various other assets.
