How to Choose Your Price Edge
Your price edge is how far above or below the market rate you sell your USDC, from -5% to +5%. A premium earns more per order but fills more slowly; a discount fills faster but earns less, or loses money.
| Price edge | Effect |
|---|---|
| Below 0% | Below market: aggressive pricing to win volume |
| 0% (market) | Most competitive, no price-edge profit |
| Small premium | Competitive, fast fills, lower margin |
| Large premium | Higher margin, slower fills; may sit unfilled |
Pick a starting point
- Check the competition. Buy → Orderbook on app.peer.xyz shows where other sellers price each currency. The deposit form's chart shows where your rate (You) lands among them.
- Price each currency separately. Busy, competitive currencies such as EUR and GBP usually need a tighter edge than less liquid or more volatile ones such as TRY or ZAR.
- Watch your fills. Orders filling instantly? You may be priced too low; raise your premium slightly. Deposit sitting idle? Lower it.
warning
If the market moves sharply against your cost basis, set a floor rate so ARM never sells below it.
