What Are Makers and Takers?
1. Makers and Takers
The cryptocurrency trading market consists of makers and takers. Makers are traders who create orders and place them in the order book, waiting for others to complete the orders. Takers are traders who accept existing orders from the order book. The main distinction between the two is that makers provide liquidity, while takers consume liquidity.
For exchanges that utilize a trade matching mechanism, makers fill a more important role, as they can enhance the depth of the order book, thereby increasing the platform's attractiveness as a trading venue.
2. Order Book Matching Mechanism
This is a matching mechanism that matches orders from both buyers and sellers. Makers create orders at different price levels, which are recorded in the order book, while takers match corresponding price level orders to complete trades.
Let's use a simple example to illustrate. If you want to buy MX tokens at a price of 3 USDT, there must be makers in the market selling MX at 3 USDT or less. Otherwise, you cannot make the purchase. Every completed trade requires both buyers and sellers. Otherwise, orders cannot be executed.
Most centralized exchanges use this order book matching mechanism. The advantages of this model include its simplicity (it's easy for users to understand), its versatility (traders can set orders like stop-loss), and its rapidity (quick trades reduce losses due to slippage).
3. Market Liquidity
When both parties in a market trade can quickly complete asset exchanges at the expected price, it indicates a healthy market liquidity. Popular tokens like BTC, ETH, and MX typically have good liquidity. However, less-traded tokens may have difficulty completing trades, indicating a lack of liquidity. This phenomenon is particularly common among NFTs.
In the example mentioned earlier, MX is a token with exceptional liquidity, resulting in a large number of trades taking place in the market. For tokens with poor liquidity, it can be challenging to sell assets at the desired price, and achieving a trade might require a significant price reduction.
This also highlights a drawback of using the order book matching mechanism. In scenarios where market liquidity is lacking, the trading experience for makers can be poor.
4. How to Know If You're a Maker or a Taker
The simplest way to know whether you are a maker or a taker is by learning their concepts and characteristics. A maker is someone who creates an order, providing liquidity and the best possible execution price to the market. On the other hand, a taker is someone who immediately completes an order, consuming existing liquidity rather than contributing to it.
If the order you placed does not appear on the order book and is immediately filled, you are undoubtedly a taker. This is why market orders are classified as taker orders, as they are designed for immediate execution.
If the order you placed is not immediately filled but appears on the order book, it increases the order quantity on the order book, thereby contributing liquidity to the market. Hence, your trade is considered a maker order.
