How a multi-step route is built
The entry can go through a P2P offer while the exit uses an exchanger with sufficient reserve, or the other way around. MatrixLink recalculates the whole route for the working size and lists only paths with a positive estimated result after all fees.
- buy via P2P and sell through an exchanger;
- enter via an exchanger and exit on P2P;
- an intermediate spot leg when needed;
- limits and reserves of every route step.
The cost of every extra step
Each step adds a fee, processing time, and a failure point: an offer can close or a reserve can run out while the previous leg is settling. The scanner therefore shows the data age of each step.
Longer routes are justified when the combined estimated result covers the extra costs and timing risk.

Frequently asked questions
Why combine P2P with exchangers at all?
Combinations expand the route set: direct pairs may show no positive estimate while a multi-step variant does.
What if one step of the route fails?
The remaining position becomes directional. Plan a fallback exit through spot or another exchanger in advance.
