How to film a crypto exchange scene

First, the line you don’t cross

The balances, fills and receipts in this app exist for the camera. Every receipt it prints — a deposit marked Completed, a withdrawal to an address, a fill — is a line of dialogue, not a record, and showing one to anyone as proof that crypto arrived, left or was bought is fraud. Keep them in the scene. Our acceptable use policy spells out the rest.

Before you roll

• Open it from the home screen, so it runs fullscreen with no address bar. If it isn’t installed yet, the overview covers setting it up.
• Decide on live prices. On, the balance and the board follow the market about once a minute, which suits one long take and fights you across cuts. Off, every figure stays where you typed it.
• Know where Edit went. Your Edit button is hidden in the installed app so it stays out of the shot. Hold two fingers still on the screen for about half a second and it appears for five seconds. One finger never brings it up, so a thumb resting on the glass mid-take is safe. In a browser tab it stays visible, which is one more reason to film from the home screen.
• Turn on Do Not Disturb, turn the brightness up and wipe the screen. A notification sliding down mid-take ends it.
• Expect the free-tier mark. On a free app, SIMULATED · POZER.COM sits across the balance and on every receipt, between the amount and the details, and it will be in the shot.

Home: the establishing shot

Home opens on the balance: Est. Total Value in the unit you chose, its fiat value underneath, Today’s PNL, and Add Funds to the right. Below sit the shortcut tiles, the promo card, the P2P and Convert cards, and the first six coins on the board.

Two things play well here. Pull down on the balance and a spinner turns while the prices refresh — a natural “checking the market” beat, though the figures only change if the market has moved since the last update. It works on Home only, and not while a sheet is open. And Add Funds opens a keypad: pick a coin from the chips, type an amount, add a network if you like, and tap Deposit. A receipt headed Received lists the asset, the amount, the network (BEP20 if you left it blank), a fee of 0.00 and Completed, and the coin’s amount grows by what you typed.

Tap More beside the markets list, or Markets in the tab bar, for the full board. The rows themselves don’t open anything, so keep a thumb scrolling rather than tapping.

Assets: where the coins are

The Assets tab repeats the balance and lists every coin you hold: its price and move on the day on the left, the amount and what it’s worth on the right. Account, beside Crypto, shows the same balance split across Earn, Spot, Funding, Futures and Trading Bots — all of it in Spot, because the coins you typed are the spot wallet.

Send opens the keypad for a withdrawal, with an optional Address box. Its receipt, headed Confirmed, prints the amount that left, the address you typed or a shortened placeholder, a network fee of up to 0.0005 in that coin, and Completed. Transfer, the wallet tabs along the top and the eye beside the balance are furniture.

Trade: the fill

Trade is the screen that makes it an exchange: a ticket on the left, a book on the right, and your pairs in a row of chips above them. The chips come from your holdings — each coin you hold, priced in your stablecoin — so BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT and BNB/USDT by default. A notice strip about tick sizes sits under the top row; its ✕ closes it until the app reloads.

A buy, beat by beat:

1. Tap the pair’s chip, then Buy.
2. Leave the order type on Limit, or open the dropdown and pick Market. A limit ticket shows eight levels of the book either side of the price; a market ticket shows five, and its Price box reads Market Price.
3. Type an amount, or tap a stop on the slider for 25, 50, 75 or 100% of what you can afford. Total and Est. Fee fill in as you go, and Avbl and Max Buy show what the account can cover.
4. Tap Buy BTC. The order sheet slides up on BTC, with the ticket’s amount already on its keypad and, on a limit order, the ticket’s price in its Limit price box.
5. Tap Buy on the sheet. If the take needs a different size, change it on the keypad first.
6. The receipt lists the pair, the type, the price, the amount filled, the total, the fee and the status. It’s headed Filled for a market order and Submitted for a limit, or Not filled, with a grey dash in place of the tick, when nothing filled. Tap Done when the shot is over; it won’t dismiss itself.

A limit order’s sheet adds a Limit price box, already holding the ticket’s price. A price that reaches the book fills at its best level: at a last price of 79,500, a buy fills at 79,501 whether the limit says 79,501 or 80,000. A price that doesn’t reach it — a buy below the lowest ask, a sell above the highest bid — comes back Not filled · Did not cross, with the balances untouched and the order’s own price on the receipt, which can be a beat of its own. Clear the box and the order fills at the top of the book.

Two limits to plan around. The sheet’s keypad types two decimal places, so a size like 0.125 goes in on the ticket, which carries it across. And an order can’t spend more than the account has: ask for more than your stablecoin covers and it fills what it can, headlines the amount that filled, and says Partially filled.

A sell works the same way from the Sell side. Under the ticket, Open Orders always reads (0), Holdings lists your coins, and the BTC/USDT Chart row folds out a line of the pair’s day.

Convert: the swap

Convert isn’t in the tab bar. Reach it from the Convert tile or the Convert card on the home screen. It’s a quieter screen than Trade — no book, no sides, one rate — which suits a scene where someone swaps one coin for another without fuss.

1. Tap the coin in the From card to choose what you’re converting, and the coin in the To card to choose what you want.
2. Type an amount, or tap Max for the whole balance. The To card fills itself in, and the rate sits at the foot of the screen — 1 BTC = 32.024395 ETH at the default typed prices.
3. Tap Preview Order. The sheet opens with both coins and the amount already in place; tap Convert.
4. The receipt, headed Converted, shows From, To, the rate, a fee of 0 and the status.

The round button between the two cards turns the pair around. There’s no fee line because the 0.1% spread is already inside the rate, as the line under the button says. The + beside the From balance opens Add Funds on that coin, and Spot at the top of the screen takes you to Trade.

Between takes

• Everything a take does stays done. Balances survive closing and reopening the app, so after a buy or a convert the next take starts from the new numbers, until you publish again.
• To go back, bring up Edit with two fingers and choose Reset to published values. The app reloads exactly as you published it.
• Edit starts from what you published, not from the take. Saving a change there makes it the new starting point on that phone and clears the take.
• Publishing again replaces old takes. Save a new version from any device, a computer included, and a phone holding a take made against the old one gives it up the next time it loads the app.
• Receipts hold still. A price update while a receipt is on screen doesn’t change its figures, though the screen behind it keeps following the market.

What gives a scene away

1. Tapping furniture. Futures, Earn, Transfer and the tabs across Markets do nothing, and a thumb that taps and waits is the tell.
2. A receipt that says Not filled when the script says it bought — usually a limit price set below the book, or nothing left to pay with.
3. A thumb stabbing at the keypad for a third decimal it won’t take. Put sizes like 0.125 on the ticket.
4. A balance that jumps between cuts because the market moved. Turn live prices off for scenes built from several takes.
5. A take that starts from the last take’s balances. Reset between them.
6. A notification sliding down mid-shot, or a lamp reflected across the balance.

Everything above runs on Pozer’s Binance-style exchange template. If the scene ends on the balance itself, the portfolio reveal guide covers setting up that number.
