## Overview

BitGo enables a secure and efficient way to trade digital assets using your [Go Account](/docs/wallet-types#go-account). Access deep liquidity from a number of top exchanges while trading with BitGo as your sole counterparty. Assets never leave BitGo custody and BitGo automatically settles trades off chain on weekdays at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Because trading occurs from your Go Account, your trades can include multiple assets. For example, if you fund a Go Account with \$20,000 USD and place market orders for \$7,000 in BTC and \$3,000 in ETH, the wallet would settle with:

* \$10,000 USD
* \$7,000 of BTC
* \$3,000 of ETH

Additionally, you can integrate the Trade WebSocket API to receive real-time updates for orders, order books, and trades.

Trading by API is subject to a rate limit of 10 requests per second. If you require an increase in rate limit contact support@bitgo.com.

To view all currently available trading pairs, including their unique ticker symbol. You can call the [List Products](/reference/tradeproducts) endpoint.
