The
Quote calculations will be based upon best available prices pulled by the DRIP Trading Engine from the various exchanges at which DRIP is traded.
Slippage is a user defined parameter and can be set to a sats amount or a percent. Lets say you are in a pizza shop where a pizza costs 10,000 sats. Basically, slippage is how far from the price quoted you find acceptable to still complete the transaction. It's to allow for slight variations in price between the time the quote is calculated and the time you click Send and Confirm to complete transaction. In this case, I might say "this pizza is costing me 100 DRIP - but let the trade continue, even with a 3% slippage, if it ends up costing 103 DRIP".
In Force is the time the transaction will remain in force. If the transaction doesn't complete within this timeframe due to the initial price no longer being available on the exchange (someone could cancel a buy order at the same time as you click 'Send'), the DRIP is returned to your address.
Partials is a checkbox where you indicate whether partial trades are acceptable. It would be used, for example, if you were sending a family member 100,000 sats at the quoted price but were willing to send smaller amounts if the full 100,000 wasn't available at that price.
If the quoted price is no longer available and we're still within the 'In Force' time, the following happens:
- If you have Partials selected, the trade itself will be placed on the backend exchange and visible to others to take portions of
- Otherwise, the trade is held within the DRIP Trading Engine and would be held off exchanges. Instead, the DRIP Trading Engine would monitor the exchanges to which it's linked for trades that would allow your transaction to complete, in-full, when carried out
