Let's trade some HBD for HIVE

First we should check our balance:

beempy balance holger80

and then start to sell 1 HBD

beempy sell -a holger80 1 HBD

I'm now asked if the price is ok:

Is the following Price ok: 0.253913 HBD/HIVE [y/n]:

and should then enter my active wif:

Password to unlock wallet or posting/active wif:

I see then the broadcasted op:

Wif accepted!

    ]
}

and can check my open orders:

beempy openorders holger80 

+------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------+----------+
|    Orderid |             Created |                                    Order |  Account |

+------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------+----------+

Cancel open orders

I can cancel my order by

beempy cancel -a 3815817900 

Instead of selling 1 HBD, I can also buy 1 HIVE by

beempy buy -a holger80 1 HIVE

after checking the price and entering my wif, the order is placed.

Using the orderbook to fulfill orders

Let's check the first 5 orders:

beempy orderbook -l 5

+--------------+----------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Asks Sum HBD |                                  Sell Orders | Bids Sum HBD |                                Buy Orders |

+--------------+----------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+

I can now sell 1 HBD @ 0.253993 HBD/HIVE as shown in the Asks column and the order should be fulfilled without waiting. Let's try:

 beempy sell -a holger80 1 HBD 0.253993

This time, I can enter the wif without asking for the price. The orderbook is empty this time:

beempy openorders  holger80 

+---------+---------+-------+---------+
| Orderid | Created | Order | Account |
+---------+---------+-------+---------+
+---------+---------+-------+---------+

The blockexplorer shows that my order was fulfilled:

I hope this help as long as the internal market has no interface.
