How do I set my spread?

Your spread controls how much above or below the market rate you price your deposit. It's shown as a percentage in the UI, adjustable from -5% to +5%.

  • +1% — Above market. More profit per trade, less competitive.
  • 0% — At market rate.
  • -0.5% — Below market. Very competitive, attracts more volume.

To set or change your spread:

  1. Create or edit your deposit
  2. Use the spread slider or +/- buttons to adjust your rate for each currency
  3. The "Market rate" button resets your spread to 0%
  4. Optionally toggle on a floor rate as a safety net
  5. Review and submit

For more control, toggle Advanced on — this shows the full orderbook so you can see where your rate lands relative to other sellers.

You can update your spread at any time without withdrawing or recreating your deposit. Major pairs (EUR, GBP) tend to have tighter spreads (+0.5% to +1%), while emerging market pairs (BRL, TRY) often run wider (+1% to +3%).
