CoinMetro — Simplified Trading platform

Blockchain is here and it’s happening. The cryptocurrency market is evolving exponentially yet many consider it to be only the beginning. We are seeing enormous interest, investment and exposure in the news of the crypto market. News websites are posting Cryptocurrencies will fall to $1 one day, and rise to $100k the next. The recent explosion of Bitcoin, especially during Aug — December 2017 where prices rised sharply has cause panic buys all around the world. There are real life cases too — you can now buy a house in Britain using the Bitcoin.
With so many people discovering cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, there needs to be a good environment to buy, sell, invest and hold with established currency or FIATs. And so there are — platforms such as Binance have exploded in popularity due to it’s customer service, fast transactions and low trading fees. However, there are still lots of problems. BitGrail, an exchange which held large amounts of RaiBlocks (rebranded to Nano) became insolvent as the exchange owner ran away with lots of RaiBlocks. Exchanges have also a history of being hacked — EtherDelta for starters. But challenges do not reside only in security, but simplicity. As awareness grows, creating user interfaces that can enable the easy application of trading and overcome obstacles to market entry are needed.
Introducing CoinMetro.

CoinMetro
The CoinMetro platform delivers a solid, user-focused platform offering ease of moving between blockchain-based digital assets and traditional markets. CoinMetro’s ecosystem combines the best of the crypto world — a fast, intuitive exchange, a feature-rich trading platform, and a complete ICO engine. It is all accessible via a streamlined web application with full integration with industry-leading blockchain platforms. An all-in-one package.
CoinMetro has been created by the team behind the Forex broker, FXPIG. They have the experience and knowledge of building an investment platform and they want to bring this into the Crypto Space. Move over Binance, Bittrex and KuCoin! Here is why.

Exchange
CoinMetro not only provides a token buyback program where their inhouse tokens are repurchased with a % of profits, but also burns a percentage of tokens over time increasing value. These work similar to Binance so why choose CoinMetro’s exchange? Ability to purchase through FIAT currencies. Normally, you would have to go through an exchange like GDAX to convert fiat to btc and then move to Binance. This movement is not needed using CoinMetro.
Platform
CoinMetro has a lot of options in terms of both standard and non-standard order types :
Markets, Limits, Stops, Limit Stop Orders and OCO (One Cancels Other) orders, TIF (Time in Force) options, such as FOK (Fill or Kill), IOC (Immediate or Cancel), and GTC (Good till Cancelled).
There are also lending and leverage options, which you cant find in Binance.
Investment Tools
CoinMetro has two innovative models:
ETCF’s (like ETF’s but for crypto)
TAM accounts: Which let anybody partner up with a professional trader
ICO Engine
CoinMetro’s ICO Express platform provides a solution for vetted ICO’s to issue tokens, smart contracts, and launch projects. What more is successful ICO’s launched through the CoinMetro platform will have their tokens listed immediately on CoinMetro.
