Multiple traders, euro and dollar

Besides the familiar USD/BTC trader, you can now also use a EUR/BTC trader. Under the same account you can easily run multiple traders.

Benefit for European customers

A EUR/BTC trader gives European customers extra benefits:

  • After a SEPA or iDeal deposit on the exchange, the EUR trader can put those euros to work immediately. You don’t have to convert the euros to dollars by hand first.
  • You no longer have unnecessary exchange-rate risk between euro and dollar.

Switch at the top

In the top bar you pick the active trader. You see the name (or your alias), the currency and whether that trader is started, paused or stopped.

What does the selected trader have?

Each trader has its own data and settings.

  • Profit, Invested, Available and Credits in the top bar
  • Pockets, actions and yields
  • Buy and sell strategy

Switching from USD/BTC to EUR/BTC: if you want to stop using the USD/BTC trader and only use a EUR/BTC trader from now on, set the USD/BTC trader to Sell Only. Over time it will sell all existing pockets at a profit. That increases the free USD in your exchange account. You then convert that USD to euros yourself on the exchange, so they become available to the new EUR/BTC trader.

In the meantime you can already deposit euros into your exchange account. The EUR/BTC trader can then get started straight away, without waiting until (all) pockets from the old USD/BTC trader have been sold.
