Traders will have the ease to trade, place, modify and cancel orders directly through the IDAP Matrix.

4. IDAP Spreader
The IDAP Spreader will allow traders to create, manage and execute synthetic spreads based on futures contract available on the IDAP exchange. Synthetic spreads are intermarket spreads, whose prices are not quoted on the exchange itself, but have to be calculated based on the underlying contracts listed on the exchange. For example, a user can create synthetic spreads of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through the exchange quoted spreads of BTC and ETH. This is another distinguishing feature that is unique to IDAP exchange ecosystem.

Another key feature by IDAP to disrupt the crypto trading domain is the IDAP Simulator. The idea is to introduce a ‘Trading Simulator’ crafted specially for crypto trading. The only difference will be that the user will get a real- life experience of the crypto assets market without using ‘real funds.’ IDAP hopes to create a band of enthusiasts and amateur traders that can benefit from IDAP simulator and step into the real market, once they are ready.
The IDAP Simulator is ideal for those who are new to futures trading and wish to familiarize themselves with market action and trading without risking real cryptocurrency. Currently, no other crypto exchange platform is offering such a feature to enable learning for trading beginners. IDAP Simulator will replicate real-time market data and trading conditions to help users understand the market dynamics, general market behaviour and how to manage trade and associated risks. This is yet another USP of our platform for facilitating education and learning for traders, enabling them to gain virtual experience in the crypto asset trading.

4. Customer Support

Despite the boom in cryptocurrencies and enthusiasm amongst people over the past few years, crypto exchanges have been constantly reported to deliver a poor customer service. For instance, many of them fail to address general trade issues over the phone simply because there is a lack of manpower or knowledgeable employees. Moreover, during a technical malfunction, crypto exchanges suspend new account registration and fail to timely alert their customers. Eventually, they are unable to address all the inbound queries from the traders using their platform. There is a strong need for excellent customer support delivery. Therefore, IDAP has a strong focus on delivering a strong customer support 24/7. Some of the features of IDAP’s customer support plan are:Customer usability product design
