[---Intro---]

Ok, you've probably seen a few people around here who have practically no visits or sales or... anything... and they have a top hat. You'd probably think "HAAAAAAAAAAX". Lol, no, there's a technique that little people know about and it's called the Trade Currency. You can manipulate the trade currency to gain money, but the time and patience needed for this varies on your starting robux and tix.

[---Tools---]

Any calculator that can do math
Anything from a notepad to a chalkboard to track your profits

[---The layout of the TC---]

Now obviously, if the average person were to look at the Trade Currency they'd be using more than common sense if they wanted to try and understand it. Because you just can't show someone the Trade Currency and ask them, "what's the current ticket ratio?" we're going to analyse this by breaking it down and describing the 5 boxes on the page.

(~~~The smallest box on the top of the page~~~) If you're looking at the right box, then you should see a few things that say Pair, Rate, Spread, and High/Low. Pair doesn't matter, it just describes what's being traded, which is of course, robux and tix. The Rate isn't that hard to understand, but I'll get to that later. The spread describes the difference (as in how far numbers are apart) of the ratios in the Trade Currency, but I'll help you better understand how to use it to your advantage later. I've been using this technique for over a year and I still don't know what in the world the High/Low is, if anybody can inform me of this in simple context, I'd be happy to add this to V3.

(~~~The middle center box~~~) This is the box in which you execute your trades. You'll see a button that you can click, allowing you to switch from Market Order to Limit Order.

Market Order simply allows you to put in a number of tickets or robux, then you immediately get the money.

Limit Order is a bit more complicated. With the Limit Order you have the option to put in an amount of robux or tix, and then specify the exact amount of robux or tix you want So say you put in 8 robux, and you want 80 tix for it. Well you just click the drop down menu and select robux, then you type in the amount of robux you're putting into the box below the thing that says "What I'll give" and in the one below that you just type in 80 tix. Now you can use any number values you want, but they're going to have to match the current rates to get the money you want. So this isn't a magic trick like putting in 8 robux and getting 9001 tix (that would be awshum though :P), because of course it's not going to go through. I think you see a little box that says "Allow split trades". Now, this won't split your trade in anyway. Basically, it's asking you if you want money that people are putting into market order, adding up and eventually being the number you asked for.

(~~~The Ticket Column~~~) This is the giant box on the LEFT with all the confusing numbers like "522 @ 10.038:1". Well, there's no better way to explain this but breaking it down.

That's the amount of tickets someone is putting in ---> 522 @ 10.038:1 <--- That 1 is one robux, now the number one the other side of the colon that says "10.038" is the exact amount of tickets it is for one robux. However, this isn't the same for all trades. When you enter a trade into the Limit order, say 100 tix for 10 robux, it gets a number like that. Because 100 divided by 10 is... well... 10... the ratio (if you don't know what a ratio is, google it) would be 10.000:1, or in simpler terms: every 10 tickets for 1 robux.

Now in a whole, in simple terms, the entire phrase would be: 522 tickets going at every 10.038 tickets for 1 robux.

(~~~The Robux Column~~~) This is the giant box on the RIGHT that has similar numbers to the Ticket Column.

This column is like the evil twin (not necessarily evil, but you get it :P) of the Timlon that says "10.038" is the exact amount of tickets it is for one robux. However, this isn't the same for all trades. When you enter a trade into the Limit order, say 100 tix for 10 robux, it gets a number like that. Because 100 divided by 10 is... well... 10... the ratio (if you don't know what a ratio is, google it) would be 10.000:1, or in simpler terms: every 10 tickets for 1 robux.

Now in a whole, in simple terms, the entire phrase would be:

522 tickets going at every 10.038 tickets for 1 robux.

(~~~The Robux Column~~~) This is the giant box on the RIGHT that has similar numbers to the Ticket Column.

This column is like the evil twin (not necessarily evil, but you get it :P) of the Ticket Column. Now let's break this one number down: 250 @ 1:10.584

That's the amount of robux someone is putting in ---> 250 @ 1:10.584 <--- Ok, use your knowledge to figure this out. Remember how in the Ticket column it was every 10.038 tix for 1 robux? Well in this, it's almost the same thing, except one difference; this is for every 1 robux you will receive 10.584 tickets. Now you're probably thinking, "so my tickets will have decimals? No, they won't. The forumula ROBLOX uses rounds every final amount of tickets DOWN, so you'd be getting 10 robux even if the final number were 10.999 (not in the trade mentioned above though, but it goes along the same lines)

Now let's look over this one more time, with 250 @ 1:10.584 in simpler terms, it would be:

250 robux going at every 1 robux giving you 10.584 tix (then it rounds the final number down)

(~~~The lower box~~~) There isn't much to this one. Basically, if you click the button that says "My Open Robux Positions" it allows you to see all the trades you are putting in that are robux for tix, and vice-versa with the "My Open Tickets Positions". You then see a button that says, "My Trade History," this allows you to see all the trades you've made. This isn't a very accurate way of keeping track of profits, so I wouldn't recommend using it.

[---THE METHOD---]

There are two ways to do this. Once you read this part, DON'T DO ANYTHING JUST YET. Later in this guide there is a section explaining how to use the spread, and a few tricks.

I HAVE DROPPED THE NEGATIVE SPREAD TRADING TECHNIQUE BECAUSE BACK THEN, IT WAS VERY COMMON TO HAVE A NEGATIVE SPREAD WITH MANY TICKET RATES BEING LARGER THAN THE ROBUX RATES, BUT IT IS VERY RARE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN NOWADAYS

(~~~Trading your Tickets into Robux~~~) Ok, first thing first, get out your calculator, now. See the spread? Well, sometimes that's a negative number. That's when you DO NOT want to use this technique. On the Ticket Column, there is a rate at the top describing the current rate.

Now, use your calculator and enter the amount of tickets you have, divide it by the left number on the colon (or to be more specific, the number on the left side of the ratio).

You'll probably get a really weird number like 87.65468436465148... Don't worry, just round that number down, so it would be say 87 instead. Now the number of Tickets you have currently, and the amount you got when you divided it (which is the amount of robux you'll receive for it), is what your trade will be.

So say the ratio at the top was 10.483, and you had 3000 tickets. You would divide 3000 by 10.483. Your final amount of robux would be... 286.17762091 robux! So you would round that down and the trade would be 3000 tix for 286 robux.

Enter the amount of robux you are supposed to get into Limit order and allow split trades. Your trade should appear at the top of the Ticket column. Watch your robux slowly build up to the point of the money you are supposed to receive! That was exciting, am I right?

(~~~Trading your Robux into Tickets~~~) See the top ratio on the robux column? Well, this is what you want to multiply your robux by.

Use your calculator and multiply the ratio at the top and by the amount of robux you have.

So say the ratio was 10.523, and you had 286 robux from the last trade you'd multiply 10.523 by 286 robux and you would get... 3009.578 tix! Round that down and you get 3009 tix.

Enter your trade into the Trade Currency using Limit Order and allow split trades. It should appear at the top of the Robux Column. Once again allow your tickets to build up to the amount your supposed to get.

Now this doesn't seem like a good increase from the previous amount of tickets you had, but time and patience adds up to the point where you could be rolling around in tens of thousands of tix!

(~~~Review on the method~~~) So now that you have the a higher amount of tickets, use the same instructions you used to divide your tickets into robux (see above) and then once you have your robux, just use the method used to trade your robux into tix (see above).

[---How to Read The SPREAD---] Now you're probably thinking "well why is the spread that important anyways?!"

Well, in order to use the Trade Currency properly, you're going to have to learn how to read the spread. The spread can affect the amount of money you make because it tells you the difference between the rates.

If you have a higher rate in the robux column, your going to get more tickets for your robux. If you have a far lower rate in the tix column, your going to get more robux out of your tix :D

Below is a list of spreads you can use to learn how to tell if it's a good spread or not.

[500+] TRADE RIGHT NOW

[350 - 500] Awesome spread

[200 -350] Perfect spread, absolutely perfect

[50 - 200] It's alright, but not that good

[0 - 50] I wouldn't recommend trading right now, but I'm not stopping you

[BELOW 0]Don't trade

[-100+] if it is -100 or more, then use market order. When the spread goes back up, then use limit order.

[--Market order--] use it when the spread is minus. Trade from R$ to tix, then tix to R$ repeat, no trick to it like limit order.

[---Tips & Tricks---]

(~~~Jammed Trades~~~) Every once in a while, your trade may start to fall down the column.

This is because someone was bidding at a rate that is higher (this happens in the tix column) or lower (this happens in the robux column) than yours.

Examine the trades in the column to see if yours is far down. If your trade is only about 2 or 3 positions down, just wait 5 - 30 minutes, if your trade still down't go through, cancel it and redo the trade. Sometimes this will happen when your trade has gone through partially. If so, just cancel it and redo the trade. You may not receive the desired amount of money, but it's gone through at least!

(~~~Keeping Track of profits~~~) You may find it where if you execute a trade it may be lower than your previous trade.

When this happens, you may have to look back at your previous profits you made from the last trade. But what if you didn't keep track?

I use a notepad to keep track of my profits, but there's a feature in the Widows 7 calculator that allows you to see the history of the calculations you entered. To turn this on in Windows 7, use the calculator and hit Edit, then click on History.

I admit a copied it, but it's worthless to only put the market order on, so I just put the other one on too.
