Title: Trading reverse pair
Post by: Youssef27 on June 01, 2019, 03:06:32 PM
Hi all,

I was wondering if we can reverse a crypto pair
For example: eth/btc would become btc/eth
In forex market we can do this with synthetic pair
Is this possible for altcoin market?

I would like to go short on the same pair but margin trading has high fees. So trading reverse should be less expensive

Forex and Crypto trade are different. And yes, btc/eth is absolutely possible.
If you are familiar with stocks market, similar is the way of working of crypto market, the difference is stock market just have a single fiat to trade into while crypto likes BTC, ETH and some others works as both stocks as well as currency.

I do not understand the point. What additional features this can give to people? I think that if it were possible then a lot of people would know about it)

It depends on the exchange. But for example, on Bitmex, the fees don't depend on your margin. Just on the contracts you buy or sell. And you can short without a problem, no need for reverse pairs.

I see, thanks. But they dont offer that much coins
If we could reverse pairs we would gain more flexibility
