The Hive internal market is fee-less. You can trade as much as you want and every single decimal of a cent in profit that you make is yours. Hive doesn't take a cut on any trade. For day-traders and people that live off of trading this is a game changer.
It is not unusual for exchanges to offer discounts, and sometimes even no fees for people or institutions that trade huge volumes. Unlike those exchanges, Hive is fair. Everyone has the same fee-less "fee" schedule. You don't need millions in volume to take advantage of it.
You could always use the internal market like that, but we lacked a simple and beautiful interface for it. I assume that is why we are, for now, considered more of a social media platform than an exchange. I don't see that as necessarily true, as our "exchange" features are competitive and truly decentralized, which is a perfect combo.
At https://hivehub.dev/market you can already swap HIVE <-> HBD in a simple and intuitive manner. This tool has been available for a while already, so of course good news doesn't stop there.
We are developing a new feature to allow people to trade more precisely using limit orders. For now it is still UNDER DEVELOPMENT and available only in the BETA version of Hivehub.
Anyone can give it a try and see how it works, before it is published on the official released website. Just go to the beta version of it at:
https://beta.hivehub.dev/market/limit
Just be mindful that any and everything may change before the official launch! And for that, feedback is appreciated!
The edge
Hivehub has a modern chart:
It provides you liquidity details:
And a multiple page trade history with digestion of the recent volume exchanged:
As I said, for now that tool is on beta. The swap functionality revolutionized the way people can use the fee-less internal market of Hive to exchange.
The swap was very useful to add volume to the market. With people swapping the limit orders both buying and selling can have more chances of being filled. With this limit tool I expect that we will balance it out and add more liquidity. With more liquidity, fee-less and at a higher volume, Hive could be used as an exchange by itself! Day-traders, do your thing!
