TRADING ON THE NETWORK
Trade matching
This trading method is the
simplest on the network: it works by bringing together two participants with
equal stakes during buying and selling.
Case study
Customer A, a member of the TradeConnect network converts some BTC to TCO through an exchange and is willing to
trade. A takes a look at the network
and sees some markets that are available and
decides to offer the market a long trade on FTSE with $200. The
artificial intelligence guiding the system matches customer A with another user of the network
(hereinafter called B). When B accept the trade (as Market Taker)
and sends $202 of TCO to the trade smart contract stored on the blockchain:
$200 as taker’s trade and $2 as the Connect Fee.
Pending the conclusion and
settlement of this trade, these amounts are kept in the network in the smart
contract. A fall in the price of the FTSE makes customer A to lose the $200, the $200 is then transferred to customer B, settling the smart contract automatically.
The Connect Fee is shared between TradeConnect and Market Maker, TradeConnect’s
share of the connect fee is used to support the network.
Advantages:
·
Customer A
and customer B trade on the
network is unaltered and verified.
·
Both participants have their funds within reach.
·
The terms of the contract dictated the trade and
the absence of a third party makes settlement instant.
Multiple participants trading
Trades of bigger sizes or lesser
liquidity are filled with multiple traders by the TradeConnect’s algorithms.
Case study
A brokerage establishment that is
also a participant in the TradeConnect network will like to hedge some of its
long exposure on Barclays Plc. But instead of working with a prime broker, this
firm decides to offer trades to the TradeConnect network, taking prime brokers
out of the picture. As the Market Maker, the brokerage will get receive the
Connect Fee returns. The brokerage firm gives the market a long trade on
Barclays with an amount of $10,000 in a bid to reduce their exposure.
The network’s artificial
intelligence matches the firm’s trade with many Takers who will like to short
the price of Barclays for the available amount. When the market makers accept
the trade, each of the takers will send the accepted trade size in addition to
the Connect Fee. These sums are kept in the network by a smart contract till
the settlement and conclusion of the trade. An increase in the price of
Barclays will make the Market Takers lose their invested funds, settling the
smart contract and the brokerage receives its payout. The Connect Fee is shared
between TradeConnect and Market Maker, TradeConnect’s share of the connect fee
is used to support the network.
Advantages:
·
The brokerage saved itself some stress by
trading on the network and also get the connect fee return for trading
·
Trades are priced and matched automatically on
the network with many participants
·
The terms of the contract dictated the trade and
the absence of a third party makes settlement instant.
Friends’ network matching
Member of the network can decide
to offer and accept trades from participants in their personal network.
Case study
A group of friends joins the
TradeConnect network; they each converted some USD to TCO through an exchange
and are willing to trade. While participants in this group can trade with
others on the network, they decide to trade with each other only. One of them
decides to give a trade size of $1,200 to go long on the market; three other
members of the group are ready to accept the offer. The network AI will match
these trades as each will put $400 to the trade in addition to the Connect Fee
of $4.
These sums are kept in the
network by a smart contract till the settlement and conclusion of the trade. The
market goes in favor of the group member with the trade size of $1,200,
settling the smart contract and the winning member receives the payout. The
Connect Fee is shared between TradeConnect and Market Maker, TradeConnect’s
share of the connect fee is used to support the network
Advantages:
·
Trade flexibility because participants can trade
with friends or with the wider network.
·
The terms of the contracts are determined by the group members.
Security
System security depends on
oracles and Trading contracts. Industry standards will be followed when drawing
up the Trading contracts: stored on the blockchain, open-source, vetted by two
external security auditors, and verified formally.
Oracles will act as trusted third
parties.
Transactions will be easy to
audit as all trades will visible on the blockchain.
