Crossed offers & Match

Peerkets never matches offers automatically. So it can happen that someone is buying above what someone else is selling for — for example a buyer at 60¢ while a seller asks 50¢. The book's middle line then says Crossed.

When that happens, a Match card appears under the book. Anyone can settle both offers in one transaction:

1. buy the shares from the seller at their price (50¢), and
2. sell those same shares to the buyer at their price (60¢),

keeping the difference. Both makers trade at exactly the price they asked for.

You need enough pUSD to pay the seller first — you get it back in the same transaction, plus the difference. You can't match against your own offer.
