# Trading Details

## **Trading Privacy & Order Types**

### **What is made dark or private when I trade?**

All **order details** are fully encrypted and hidden from the public, including:

* **Asset pairs**
* **Prices**
* **Order amounts**
* **Order direction** (buy/sell)
* **Intent and strategy**

The Darkswap matching engine processes these **encrypted orders** without the ability to decrypt or access the cleartext trade details — even **on-chain**.\
This ensures complete privacy at every step.

### **What types of orders can I execute?**

Darkswap supports **three advanced private order types**:

#### **1. Limit Order**

Executes at your specified limit price or **better**.\
Ideal for precise execution within a defined price range.

#### **2. Stop Limit Order**

A two-step private workflow:\
**Trigger price → Limit order execution**\
Perfect for setting automated entries once price conditions are met.

#### **3. Take Profit Order**

Also a **Trigger → Limit** structure.\
Automatically executes when the market reaches your profit target, while keeping all details private.

### **Can traders verify that they were not front-run?**

**Yes.** Darkswap is architected to eliminate MEV and front-running by design.

You are protected because:

* **No mempool exposure**
* **No cleartext order broadcast**
* **All settlements require cryptographic proofs** confirming correct matching

This proof-based mechanism ensures:

* No MEV
* No sandwich attacks
* No pre-trade information leakage
* No validator or bot advantage

Traders can trust that **every execution is private, fair, and verifiably correct**.
