SECTION 7. CoinLion Services and Fees
CoinLion offers users access to the CoinLion exchange to trade cryptocurrency for other cryptocurrency or U.S. dollars depending on the jurisdictional regulatory authorizations. Trading can be set manually by offering a trading pair on the order book. Trades can also be made automatically if users have established trading strategy using the CoinLion Auto Trader or CopyCat services.
Trade execution does not require a perfect match of two different user trades. Trades can be completed completely or partially, and trades can also be satisfied by multiple users’ trades to satisfy a trade.
Example:
Trader A sets a buy order of 1 ETH for $1000. Trader B sets a sell order of .5 ETH for $500. Trade C sets a sell order of .25 ETH for $250. Trader D sets a sell order of .05 ETH for $100, and Trader E sets a sell order of .2 ETH for $100.
Trader A’s, B’s, and C’s trade price per ETH is $1000. Trader D’s trade price per ETH is $2000 and Trader E’s trade price per ETH is $500.
The matching engine will execute Trader A’s buy as completely as possible and will use the cheaper price first to satisfy. Trader A’s order will match and trade with Traders B, C, and E. Trader D’s price per ETH is more than Trader’s A order and so will not execute as part of this trade. Traders B, C, and E will all be satisfied and removed from the order book, and Trader A’s trade will be partially satisfied. Trader A will receive their .95 ETH and the .05 ETH at trade price per ETH of $1000 will remain on the order book until satisfied.

This requires CoinLion tests its products in controlled environments, self-audit its tools and practices, and annually hire third parties to audit CoinLion’s business and technical standards and practices.
