What Is Pluang's 6-Second Price Guarantee for Crypto?

Pluang's 6-Second Price Guarantee holds the estimated price of your crypto order steady for 6 seconds after you confirm it in LITE mode, so within that short window your buy or sell executes at the price you just saw. Its purpose is price transparency: instead of committing to a number that could move the instant you tap confirm, you get a brief, protected window in which the quoted IDR price is honored. This matters because crypto markets move every second and a floating spread applies, so without a hold the price could shift between confirmation and execution. The guarantee applies to spot crypto assets traded in LITE mode; PRO Mode uses Advanced Orders, which execute at the underlying exchange price and do not use this hold. Hold behavior and its availability can vary by asset with market conditions, and the final figure may still differ slightly due to market movement.

Good to know:

• What it does: after you confirm a crypto order in LITE mode, the estimated price is held steady for 6 seconds — a transparency feature, not a promise of profit.
• Why it exists: prices move continuously and a floating spread applies; the 6-second window absorbs ordinary movement between confirmation and execution.
• Scope: spot Crypto Assets in LITE mode, quoted in IDR because spot crypto trades in Rupiah.
• PRO Mode is different: PRO Mode Advanced Orders execute at the underlying exchange price and do not use the 6-second hold.
• It can vary: the hold period and the availability of the price-hold option can differ by asset depending on market conditions.
• Small differences can remain: the final price and the exact quantity received can still vary slightly with execution conditions.

Q: Does the 6-Second Price Guarantee apply in PRO Mode?
No. It is specific to spot crypto assets in LITE mode. PRO Mode uses Advanced Orders — Market, Limit, Stop, Stop-Limit — which execute at the underlying exchange price rather than through a held estimate, so the 6-second hold does not apply there.

Q: Can the price-hold period vary between different crypto assets?
Yes. Both the hold length and whether the price-hold option is available can differ by asset depending on current market conditions. In calmer conditions it behaves as expected; during unusual volatility or thin liquidity the behavior can differ, which is why it is described as a hold under normal conditions rather than an unconditional lock.

Q: Why might my final price differ slightly from the guaranteed price?
The hold keeps your price steady for 6 seconds after you confirm, but markets move continuously and a floating spread applies, so small differences around the edges are possible — for example if conditions shift at the boundary of the window. It is a transparency feature that keeps you close to the quoted figure, not a claim of a to-the-digit match in all cases.

Q: Which Pluang feature is most closely related to the 6-Second Price Guarantee?
The estimated price on your order confirmation page. The estimated price is the tailored, per-order figure you see before confirming; the guarantee is the mechanism that holds that number steady for 6 seconds after you confirm in LITE mode. One is the quoted price you review; the other is the short-lived protection that keeps your execution at it.

Q: Does the guarantee mean I am locked into a good price beyond the 6 seconds?
No. The protection lasts only for the 6-second window after you confirm in LITE mode — it does not lock a price for minutes or guarantee a favorable outcome. If you do not complete within the window, your transaction price reflects the market at that later point. For time-sensitive trades, confirm promptly and review the estimated price and quantity first.
