Trade Preimage

API-v2trade_preimage

trade_preimage

The trade_preimage method returns the approximate fee amounts that are paid per the whole swap. Depending on the parameters, the function returns different results:

If the swap_method is buy or sell, then the result will include the taker_fee and the fee_to_send_taker_fee. The taker_fee amount is paid from the base coin balance if the swap_method is sell, else it is paid from the rel coin balance;
If the max field is true, then the result will include the volume.

This method can be used instead of max_taker_vol, if the max field is true and the swap_method is buy or sell. Use the resulting volume as an argument of the buy or sell requests.

Use the trade_preimage request with max = true and swap_method = "setprice" arguments to approximate the fee amounts only. Do not use the resulting volume as an argument of the setprice.
