How to Place a Spot Trade

A step-by-step guide to placing and cancelling a spot trade on Yellow.pro.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

• connected your wallet and logged in to Yellow.pro

• deposited funds into your account

• sufficient Available balance in the relevant currency

If part of your balance shows as In Orders, those funds are locked by open orders (or a withdrawal in progress). Cancel an open order to release them.

1

Select a market

On the left panel of the trading interface, browse or search for the market you want to trade (for example, ETH-USDT). The order book, chart, and order form load for that market.

2

Choose your order type

In the order form, select your order type:

• Market order — executes immediately at the best available price. No price input needed.

• Limit order — executes at your specified price or better. Requires a price input.

• Stop Limit / Stop Market — conditional orders that activate when a trigger price is reached.

3

Set the side: Buy or Sell

• Buy ETH-USDT → you spend USDT to receive ETH.

• Sell ETH-USDT → you spend ETH to receive USDT.

4

Enter price and amount

• Market order: enter only the Amount; the platform uses the best available price.

• Limit order: enter both the Price and the Amount.

The form shows an estimated total value before you confirm.

Ensure your price respects the market's tick size and your amount respects the step size, or the order will be rejected. See Market Rules & Limits for each market's values.

5

Review and submit

Double-check the market, side, order type, price (if applicable), amount, and estimated fee, then click Buy or Sell.

6

Monitor your order

After submission:

• your order appears in Open Orders at the bottom of the screen

• if it fills immediately, your balance updates and the trade appears in Trade History

• if it's a limit order waiting to be filled, it stays in Open Orders until matched or cancelled

Cancelling an Open Order

1. Go to the Open Orders tab at the bottom of the screen.

2. Find the order you want to cancel.

3. Click the Cancel (X) button next to it.

Funds held In Orders for the cancelled order return to your Available balance immediately.

Tips for New Traders

• Start with small amounts while you get familiar with the interface.

• Use limit orders when you care about the exact execution price.

• Always verify your order details before confirming — there is no undo after submission (though you can cancel a limit order if it hasn't filled yet).

• Check market parameters (tick size, minimum size) if your order is being rejected.
