What are the ways to buy coins at Cointree?
We currently offer two order types to choose from when buying coins: ‘Market price’ and ‘Quoted price’.
To make a purchase, click on ‘Buy/Sell/Trade’ then the ‘Buy Coin’ tab. This will lead you to the ‘Buy Coin’ page. Here, you’ll be able to select your order and complete your purchase.
Placing your purchase
Firstly, you’ll need to choose between a ‘Market price’ and ‘Quoted price’ order.
What’s the difference between market price and quoted price orders?
Market price orders will be successful regardless of price changes in the market, while quoted price orders will only be successful when the quoted price is available.
For market price orders
To buy using the Market Price feature, please refer to the following:
Step One
Click on the ‘Market price’ box to use this order type.
Step two
Enter the amount of AUD you would like to spend on the coin.
You can see your total available balance on the right side of the ‘Amount’, under ‘Max’. In the example below, you can see that the account currently has $107.68 AUD in their account.
You will be prevented from entering a figure higher than your total available balance, you may however choose an amount that is less than your total balance.
If you would like to spend more AUD, you can deposit AUD to your account here.
Step three
Select the coin you want to buy by clicking on the provided box ‘Select a coin to buy’.
You will then be able to see and choose a coin from the list of coins available. You can even type in the coin name or symbol in the provided search box to find the coin of your choice.
Step four (Optional)
You can enter notes for yourself to remind yourself the reason you bought the coin or what you planned to do with it. The notes could be anything!
For example, the customer below chooses to use the note to remind them to withdraw the ADX on a certain date.
Please note that this step is optional and you can choose to skip it by leaving it empty.
Step five
Review your buy summary to ensure that you are buying the right coin and the right amount.
The buy summary lists the amount you’re spending - your ‘Order amount’, the fee charged by Cointree ‘Cointree fee’, and the amount of the coin you are buying.
You can then tick the “I accept the Cointree terms of service & refund policy” box and ‘Confirm’ to proceed with the purchase.
