iTrustCapital’s Conditional Transaction feature allows clients to set parameters to automatically execute transactions when an asset reaches a specified price rather than manually entering a transaction as a market order. This allows clients to execute transactions when they are away from their devices. Conditional Transactions execute as market orders when a specified asset reaches the conditional price set by the client. iTrustCapital’s proprietary software monitors the asset price, and when the conditional price is detected, notifies the liquidity provider to execute a market order. Our liquidity providers execute and fulfill the transaction at the best possible price as market conditions allow in real-time.
