Self Trade Prevention

In keeping with Defx's goal of promoting fair and transparent trading, we have implemented Self Trade Prevention (STP) features on our platform. This mechanism prevents traders from matching their own orders on the order book, thereby ensuring that trading activities reflect genuine market interest rather than manipulated volumes.

On Defx, STP operates by preventing orders from the same user or associated trade groups (identified by a "tradeGroupId") from matching with each other. A self-trade is defined as either an order trading against the same account or against another account within the same trade group. This system ensures that all trades are executed between different market participants, promoting a more transparent and competitive trading environment.
