Interesting idea, and I like the clean interface, but I could use a bit more info. Where are those really long tutorials? Do I have the option to match someone else's order, or can I only list my own orders and hope someone out in the ether matches it?

The really long tutorials are for options contracts which we are not offering to general users until there's some more regulatory clarity in the US. I am trying to adapt them to the forwards right now.

If you unclick "Zero Cost" and then click the Buy or Sell button it automatically populates the Cost field at the price that will immediately execute against a standing order. Or you can fill your own price in if you'd like to have a different cost (or none upfront at all). I should point out that negative costs are allowed (where the seller pays the buyer for entering the contract, instead of the other way around. Thanks!
