(Updated: To enhance trading experience and optimize benefits for the user community, Nami decides to temporarily postpone the update of the matching mechanism on NAO Futures.
We will continue to enhance the NAO Futures system to ensure greater alignment and efficiency for the community. The timeline for resuming the order matching mechanism update will be communicated to users as soon as it becomes available through this announcement).
Dear Nami Community,
From 2025-04-11 07:00 (UTC), Nami Exchange updates the order matching mechanism on NAO Futures. Through this article, users will gain a deeper understanding of the new order matching mechanism, allowing users to adjust their trading strategies accordingly, enhance their risk management capabilities, and effectively capitalize on investment opportunities.
1.Limit Order
A Limit Order is an order to buy or sell at a specified price-lower (for buy orders) or higher (for sell orders) than the current market price. The order will only be executed when the market price reaches or exceeds the limit price.
Example: Users place a buy order with the limit order, and place a limit price of $1,500. Assume the current market price is $2,400. It will only be filled when the market price falls to 1,500 or lower. In case users’ limit price is higher than or equal to the current market price, the order will be filled immediately at the current market price of around $2,400.
2.Market Order
A Market Order is an order to buy or sell that is executed immediately at the current market price. A buy order is filled at the lowest available ask price, while a sell order is filled at the highest available bid price on the order book.
When users are about to open a Market order, the price displayed at the Buy/Sell button is the expected price for opening the position. However, after confirming the position, the actual price at the time of opening the position may change due to market volatility, either higher or lower than the initial expected price.
Example: The user opens a long position with a market order. The price displayed at the Buy button is $2,400. However, when the user confirms the position and the order is executed, due to market volatility, the actual price at which the position is opened is $2,405.
3.Stop Market Order
A Stop Market order is triggered by a market order to buy or sell as soon as the price reaches the Stop Price, and the order is filled at the best available price at the time the order is activated:
Example: The user places a long position with a Stop Market order, setting the Stop Price at $2,450. The current market price is $2,400. When the market price rises and reaches $2,450, the order will be triggered and executed as a market order. The order will be filled at the best available price, which could be higher than $2,450 due to market volatility. In case the market price at that moment is $2,455, the order will be filled at $2,455.
Example: The user opens a Sell position with a Stop Market order, setting the Stop Price at $2,350. The current market price is $2,400. When the market price drops to $2,350, the order will be triggered and converted into a market order. The order will be executed at the best available price, which may be lower than $2,350 due to market fluctuations. Assuming the market price at that moment is $2,345, the order will be filled at $2,345.
4.Update on SL-TP settings
When users set a Stop-Loss (SL) or Take-Profit (TP) level for their current position, the SL-TP will be triggered when the market price reaches the set level. At that point, the position will be closed with a Market order, and the closing price will be the prevailing market price at that time.
Example: Assume market price is at $2,400, the user is holding a long position with a SL set at $2,350. If the price reaches $2,350, the Stop-Loss Market order is triggered and becomes a market sell order to cut the loss. If the market price at that moment is $2,345, the order will be filled at $2,345.
Important notice: The price at which the order is filled will depend on the buy/sell market price at the time of execution, so price differences may occur.
