What is more, you can easily add new wallets in one simple step, with their assets appending the Portfolio View right away for your convenience.
Episode 5: The MATRIX™ Market Depth Feature
Within our comprehensive trading terminal for trading and managing crypto-assets, you are able to access our Market Depth Feature.
With our Market Depth feature, you get an indication of the impact of large orders on the market. It includes a tabular representation of the order books, a comprehensive and interactive market depth chart with customization options, as well as a detailed spread calculation.
Episode 6: Order Entry and Execution
Blocksize MATRIX™ offers you two operating modes to choose from before executing an order: normal mode, and simulation mode. You can opt for the simulation mode if you wish to simulate a trade with unlimited funds on all exchanges, before executing any actual trade.
To place your order, choose the base and quote currencies, and enter your desired order amount. Choose the exchanges you want to order from, or use Blocksize Capital’s built-in Smart Order Routing(SOR). Our Smart Order Router compares prices from your connected exchanges, and executes based on the best available options. Its algorithm allows for optimal order routing to different exchanges, ensuring best order execution. This way, larger institutional order sizes can be executed with significantly reduced slippage.
You can preview the order before executing it, and see the expected execution distribution, as well as the corresponding trade fees.
Episode 7: Order Entry and Execution (contd.)
Once you’ve filled out your order preferences, you can preview the expected execution distribution and corresponding trade fees. You can then proceed to execute the order from the pop-up screen.
A detailed order execution screen will appear once you’ve placed the order. Here, a pie chart is included, that visualizes the distribution run by the Blocksize Smart Order Router. Adjacent to the pie chart is a detailed execution summary table and the ability to retrieve the order logs. In this table, you can find an order summary including all relevant details like order status, size, and type.
Additionally, our order execution screen provides a detailed tabular view of the savings you’ve made thanks to our Smart Order Routing algorithm. Last but not least, an overview of all individual orders executed by the Smart Order Router appears next to the savings table, which includes the status of each order.
Episode 8: Execution Reporting Details
Under the “Reporting” tab you can see a list of all your past trades. By clicking on “Details”, you have the ability to retrieve the execution details of each individual trade carried out in the past.
