Rate and reserve monitoring
Exchanger rates update frequently, and reserves cap the executable size. MatrixLink reads the data in real time so a route is built on a current rate rather than a stale snapshot.
- current rate and exchange direction;
- exchanger reserve versus working size;
- listing rating and user reviews;
- quote age at display time.
The exchanger-to-exchange route
A typical route buys an asset at an exchanger and sells it on an exchange, or the reverse. The estimate includes the exchanger rate, trading fees, and transfer costs between venues.
Before trading, check the specific exchanger's terms: rate locking, processing time, and verification requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the exchanger reserve matter?
The reserve caps the amount the exchanger can actually pay out. A good rate without sufficient reserve is not an executable route.
Is the exchanger rate locked during an order?
It depends on the platform: some lock the rate at order creation, others recalculate at payment. Verify this before trading.
Does a positive estimate guarantee the outcome?
No. Rates, reserves, and processing speed can change; the scanner shows an estimate as of the data time.
