I will sell the order at a cheap price! Or my journey to the first magical “ding” sound in my ear!

Here, I’ll explain in detail, as if I’m explaining to my 85-year-old father how to use a buttoned mobile phone—from A to Z. For him, this device is something strange and unfamiliar, so I have to take a pen and paper and write down everything step by step about how to use it.
Preparing the order for sale: explanation from top to bottom.
My journey on the exchange starts as usual: I open the app and press the blue circle with arrows “Trade.” It’s on the home page, in the bottom bar, right in the center among five sections:
1. Home.
2. Futures.
3. Trade.
4. Earn.
5. Assets.
The third button is exactly what I need to sell.
After pressing it, I’m taken to a page where everything is real: “Buy” in green and “Sell” in red. Sometimes I want to buy something else interesting, but this time I disciplinedly choose the option that fits my goal—selling NUMI.
At the top of the screen, I see the trading pair—two currencies separated by a slash. Here, I change the first currency to NUMI, and the second I choose as $USDT. Of course, I could choose GT or ETH, but I need USDT, so I select it from the list. The NUMI/USDT pair is set—I can proceed.
1. Spot.
First, I check that I’ve selected Spot.
Yes, this is important: we’re not in futures, not using leverage, not in anything that could make me poorer—just calm, predictable spot trading.
2. Sell.
Next, I confirm the selected mode is Sell.
We came to sell NUMI, so everything makes sense.
3. Limit.
The next step is choosing the order type. I select Limit because the fee is lower, and more importantly, I can set my own price.
And who doesn’t want to get a little more?
4. Price.
In the “Price” field, I enter the value for one NUMI.
In my case, it’s 0.075 USDT per token.
Yes, ambitious. Yes, maybe I’ll have to wait. But desire is serious, and I honestly set the price I want to get.
5. Amount.
In this field, I specify the amount of NUMI I want to sell.
I can enter it manually or use the slider with five circles—it’s pretty clear. But I choose the manual way because I like precision and control.
6. Total.
Here, the amount I’ll receive if the order is executed at my price shows up automatically. I have 11.11 USDT—a symmetrical and somewhat magical number.
If fate likes beautiful numbers, maybe they’ll buy faster, right?
7. Available.
In the “Available” section, I see the amount of NUMI available to sell.
In my case: 148.17 NUMI.
That’s the quantity I can confidently offer.
8. Sell.
After completing all previous steps, checking every field, and telling myself again, “Yes, I’m really doing this”—I press “Sell.”
A confirmation window pops up: “Confirm NUMI/USDT order,” with “Sell!” written in red and a full list of my settings.
At the bottom—a black window with white text “Confirm.”
I press it.
Done. I’ve officially sent my order to sail in the market.
It takes me back to the trading page, and I see a message: “Order placed successfully.” A bit lower—a tab “Orders (1).” Here, my order quietly waits, awaiting its time and buyer.
When someone buys it, that beautiful sound will play—“ding,” and I’ll receive a notification of a successful sale.
Summary: At this stage, the preparation process is finished, and now the hardest part remains—waiting.
Honestly: if I had set a lower price, I would have sold it a long time ago.
But I want a little more!
So I’ll leave it hanging, watch, learn, and at the same time sell—or rather, try to sell—my precious order.
I promise to follow up—when I hear that long-awaited “ding.”
And I sincerely thank my patient crypto teachers who explain everything to me and guide me forward.
