How to use this winner data

Identify your side.Buying USDT? Pick the cheapest-BUY winner. Selling USDT? Pick the highest-SELL winner. They're often different exchanges.
Click into the merchant. The headline price is TOP1 — the next ad may be 0.1-0.5% worse. For larger trade size, scan the top few ads on the per-exchange page.
Verify completion rate ≥98%.No matter how cheap, never trade with a merchant under 95% completion or with fewer than 1,000 orders. The biggest risk on P2P isn't price — it's the rare bad merchant.
