Step-by-step buying guide
- 01 Choose the best active venue. Compare the live venues first so you buy on the exchange with the best combination of price, spread, and liquidity for Ibm.
- 02 Decide between market and limit. A market order is reasonable if you want immediate execution and the spread stays tight, but a limit order still gives more control.
- 03 Verify the account before funding. Complete the exchange verification flow, enable two-factor authentication, and confirm withdrawal settings before you send money.
- 04 Buy only the amount you planned. The current market is balanced, so keep the order size aligned with the asset’s current range instead of chasing the move.
- 05 Move long-term holdings to self-custody. Because venue choice is narrower here, make self-custody part of the plan as soon as the order clears.
