How to use the command line interface

Settle Trade

Note: This page describes how to use the 'mtm' command line executable. This binary is currently available for Linux only

To use mtm from the command line, you must have a synced Microtick node and you should to set the MTM_HOME environment variable to the same directory your synced node is using if it's not using the default location, for example:

$ export MTM_HOME=$HOME/testnet

Usage

$ mtm tx microtick settle <trade id>

Description

Settles a trade that is still active but has reached expiration. Trades can only be settled once. The first party to settle a trade collects the "settle incentive" token amount held in escrow in the trade contract. Either trade counter party or any other Microtick account holder can issue a settle command for an active trade. Trade settlement still is paid to the trade counter parties even if a third party settles the trade.
