What's Peak Sniper and how do I use it?

Peak Sniper is a tool that ensures part of your order is filled at your target price by the time the order expires, even if the market doesn’t exactly reach your desired price. With Peak Sniper, you won’t have to worry about missing out on a better price or not trading in time, eliminating fear, uncertainty and doubt.

How do I overcome fear, uncertainty and doubt on my crypto-selling journey with Peak Sniper?

Selling at the right price can be tricky, especially when market prices change quickly. You may miss the perfect moment to sell, which could cause stress and lead to selling at a lower price than you originally wanted. A regular limit order allows you to set a price, but if the market doesn’t reach your target, nothing gets sold. That’s where Peak Sniper comes in.

How does it work?

Imagine you own 1 Bitcoin (BTC), and you want to sell it at $25,000 while the market price is at $22,000. If the market never reaches $25,000, a regular limit order won’t fill. But with Peak Sniper, even if the price moves in the wrong direction, a portion of your BTC will still be sold at your target price by the time your order expires.

Visualizing the concept: think of it like reserving seats at a concert. You reserve 10 seats, but as the concert date approaches, only 7 seats can be guaranteed due to high demand. Similarly, Peak Sniper ensures that at least part of your order is sold at your desired price, even if the market fluctuates.

What are the key features to remember?

  • Locked funds: once you place the order, your funds are locked until the order expires. You can’t cancel or withdraw the funds early.

  • Target price and market price: the closer your target price is to the current market price, the larger the portion of your order that gets filled. If your target price is too far from the market price, a smaller portion will be filled.

  • Expiry price matters: the bot only focuses on the price at the order’s expiry. If the market price goes above your target and then drops again, Peak Sniper will still fill the guaranteed percentage based on the original price.
