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 Drift.
- 02 Decide between market and limit. Use a limit order when Drift is moving quickly, because the live band is near the upper band and the order book can shift before your trade executes.
- 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 surging, 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. Keep only active trade funds on exchange and move long-term holdings to self-custody after the purchase.
