Who is bitoftrade?

bitoftrade is a no KYC crypto decentralized exchange currently on multiple blockchains. We aim to make a difference with our platform by providing a unique user experience complete with easy-to-use advanced trading tools.

The advantages of using bitoftrade include:

• advanced trading tools,
• anonymous trading,
• no KYC verification or registration required,
• no storing of your personal information or data.

With bitoftrade you can exchange over 900 tokens on the Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and Fantom networks. What’s more, we have a great range of exchange features including swap, leverage, and limit trades while still being a fully decentralized platform.

So, how do you begin trading on bitoftrade?

Connect your non custodial wallet: MetaMask

To begin, you’ll need to connect to your MetaMask wallet. It’s one of the most popular wallets out there, and for good reason. You can easily connect all your wallets to MetaMask and hold them in one safe place.

Connect MetaMask to bitoftrade in four easy steps:

1. Firstly, if you haven't installed MetaMask yet, go to Metamask.io and download the wallet extension on your browser. From there you can either open a new wallet or restore an old one using your secret seed phrase.

2. (Skip this step if you’ve already got an account). To create a new wallet you’ll need to set a password and then you’ll receive your secret recovery phrase of 12 seed words.

Make sure you keep it in a safe place and never share it with anyone.

This is the key to your funds, and you’ll need to confirm your seed phrase by entering it in the right order. Then you’re all set to trade!

3. If you’ve already got an account set up, then you can simply go to bitoftrade.com and select “Start Trading”.

4. Click on “Connect MetaMask” and approve the connection. If you have multiple accounts on your MetaMask, make sure you choose the one you'd like to start trading with.

Trading limit orders

Limit trades, sometimes known as limit orders, are the type of trades that investors can use to set parameters for the buying and selling of cryptocurrency. This type of trading offers you more control over your funds, as you can set the limit for a trade so it won’t sell for under your asking price or go over.

How to limit trade with bitoftrade:
