DEX Functional Specifications - Dashboard
The purpose of this document is to outline functional specifications for the Peerplays Decentralized Exchange (DEX) relating to the Dashboard page from the user's perspective.
The DEX will be a feature rich application that users will depend on to trade their native and sidechain assets. As development on the DEX continues the list of features available to users will grow. A Dashboard page offers users the ability to see their account activity at-a-glance as well as provide the essential actions users often take. In this way, the Dashboard provides the user the basics of the DEX on one page.
Specific functions covered include:
- the Dashboard page
- the Quick Order widget
- the Quick Send widget
- the My Activity list
- the My Assets list
Two processes will be described here: using the Quick Order widget, and using the Quick Send widget.
Goal: The Quick Order widget must allow the following actions:
- The user can quickly place a market order to sell an asset they own at the current market price.
- The user can quickly place a market order to buy an asset at the current market price.
To create a buy market order:
- 1.User selects the buy tab in the Quick Order widget.
- 2.User selects the asset they wish to buy (ex. BTC).
- 3.User selects the asset with which they will pay (ex. ETH).
- 4.User enters the quantity of the asset they wish to buy (ex. 0.5).
- 5.The system displays to the user how much buying the asset will cost in terms of the selling asset. (ex. Buying 0.5BTC will cost 20ETH at current market rates.)
- 6.User clicks Place Order to initiate the buy market order.
- 7.The system displays a confirmation dialog to the user to ensure accuracy of the field inputs.
- 8.User accepts the confirmation dialog.
- 9.The system clears the widget form fields.
- 10.The system initiates the buy market order on behalf of the user using the supplied field inputs.
- 11.The system notifies the user of the successful transaction.
To create a sell market order:
- 1.User selects the sell tab in the Quick Order widget.
- 2.User selects the asset they wish to sell (ex. BTC).
- 3.User selects the asset for which they will be paid (ex. ETH).
- 4.User enters the quantity of the asset they wish to sell (ex. 0.5).
- 5.The system displays to the user how much selling the asset will earn them in terms of the earned asset. (ex. Selling 0.5BTC will receive 20ETH at current market rates.)
- 6.User clicks Place Order to initiate the sell market order.
- 7.The system displays a confirmation dialog to the user to ensure accuracy of the field inputs.
- 8.User accepts the confirmation dialog.
- 9.The system clears the widget form fields.
- 10.The system initiates the sell market order on behalf of the user using the supplied field inputs.
- 11.The system notifies the user of the successful transaction.
To send an asset with the Quick Send widget:
- 1.User enters an account name (with which they have permissions to transfer assets from) in the From field.
- 2.User enters an account name in the To field.
- 3.User enters a quantity into the Quantity field.
- 4.User selects an asset in the asset selector dropdown.
- 5.The system displays the Fee required to initiate the send to the user.
- 6.User (optionally) adds a memo into the Memo field.
- 7.User clicks the Send button.
- 8.The system displays a confirmation dialog to the user to ensure accuracy of the field inputs.
- 9.User accepts the confirmation dialog.
- 10.The system clears the widget form fields.
- 11.The system initiates the transfer on behalf of the user using the supplied field inputs.
- 12.The system notifies the user of the successful transaction.

Market order : Orders that are meant to execute as quickly as possible at the current market price. If you’re buying an asset, a market order will execute at whatever price the seller is asking. If you’re selling, a market order will execute at whatever the buyer is bidding. The biggest drawback of the market order is that you can’t specify the price of the trade.
Limit order : An order that sets the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or sell. The biggest advantage of the limit order is that you get to name your price, and if the asset reaches that price, the order will be filled. If the asset never reaches the limit price, the trade won’t execute.
