Trade

The Trade page in Mangrove’s DApp provides a streamlined interface for trading tokens using three types of orders: market, limit, and amplified orders. This page also includes real-time order books, trade history, and charting tools for tracking price movements and depth, enabling users to make informed trading decisions.

Types of Orders on Mangrove DEX

On Mangrove DEX, there are three types of orders available:

  1. Market Order: This type allows you to buy or sell a token at the current market price. Market orders are executed immediately, providing a quick and efficient trading option.

  2. Limit Order: With a limit order, you set a specific buy or sell price for a token. The order will only execute when the market reaches the designated price, allowing you to control the trade’s entry or exit point based on your target price.

  3. Amplified Order: Amplified orders are enhanced limit orders that leverage Mangrove’s unique unlocked liquidity principle. By using the Liquidity Sourcing option, you can place limit orders across multiple markets using the same funds, maximizing efficiency without locking assets. This strategy allows your funds to serve multiple trading opportunities simultaneously, boosting potential returns.

Note: Before placing your first order, you will need to approve Mangrove to spend tokens on your behalf. This one-time authorization allows Mangrove to execute trades using your specified funds.
