A spot trade is a basic transaction between a buyer and a seller at the current market rate, known as the spot price. The transaction is immediately executed when the order is fulfilled.  
CoinUnited.io allows users to prepare spot trades in advance to be triggered when a specific (better) spot price is reached, known as a limit order.
