= Use-case 0004 — Place market BUY order = '''Initiating actor:''' Trader '''Other actors:''' Market Simulator (indirect — supplies the current price via `market_trades`). A Trader buys a crypto asset at the current market price. The operation touches five tables (`orders`, `users`, `holdings`, `transactions`, `market_trades`) and must either all succeed or all roll back. == Scenario == 1. Trader chooses "Place market BUY order". 2. System lists the available markets with their latest price: {{{ SELECT m.id, c.symbol, m.quote_currency, COALESCE(lp.price, 0) FROM project.markets m JOIN project.crypto c ON c.id = m.crypto_id LEFT JOIN project.v_latest_prices lp ON lp.market_id = m.id WHERE m.is_active = true ORDER BY c.symbol; }}} 3. Trader enters a market symbol, e.g. `ETH`. 4. System resolves the market and looks up the latest price: {{{ SELECT m.id, c.id AS crypto_id, c.symbol, m.quote_currency FROM project.markets m JOIN project.crypto c ON c.id = m.crypto_id WHERE upper(c.symbol) = upper($1) AND m.is_active = true; SELECT price FROM project.v_latest_prices WHERE market_id = $2; }}} 5. Trader enters a quantity. 6. System computes notional = quantity × price, opens a transaction, and does: {{{ BEGIN; -- (a) record intent — no trade has happened yet. INSERT INTO project.orders (user_id, market_id, side, type, status, quantity, price) VALUES ($user_id, $market_id, 'buy', 'market', 'open', $qty, $price) RETURNING id; -- captured as $order_id -- (b) lock and check the user balance SELECT available_balance FROM project.users WHERE id = $user_id FOR UPDATE; -- abort if available_balance < notional -- (c) move cash from available to invested. A buy never reserves crypto -- the way a sell does — it only ever adds to the position, so there -- is nothing on the holdings side to commit before settling. UPDATE project.users SET available_balance = available_balance - $notional, invested_balance = invested_balance + $notional, updated_at = now() WHERE id = $user_id; -- (d) upsert holding with running weighted-average price: SELECT quantity, avg_price FROM project.holdings WHERE user_id = $user_id AND crypto_id = $crypto_id FOR UPDATE; -- Either INSERT (new holding) or UPDATE (existing), computing -- new_avg = (old_qty*old_avg + $qty*$price) / (old_qty + $qty) -- (e) ledger entry INSERT INTO project.transactions (user_id, type, amount, currency, related_order, description) VALUES ($user_id, 'buy', -$notional, 'USD', $order_id, 'Market buy ...'); -- (f) record the resulting market trade INSERT INTO project.market_trades (market_id, executed_at, price, quantity, side, source) VALUES ($market_id, now(), $price, $qty, 'buy', 'user'); -- (g) settle the order itself — it has now actually been filled. UPDATE project.orders SET status = 'executed', executed_at = now() WHERE id = $order_id; COMMIT; }}} 7. System confirms: `Order executed: buy 0.0100 BTC @ 67140.000000 (notional 671.4000 USD)`. === Alternate flow 6a — insufficient funds === If `available_balance < notional`, the entire transaction rolls back and system shows "Insufficient funds: need X, have Y." === Alternate flow 4a — market not found === If the entered symbol does not match any active market, system shows "market X not found" and returns to the authenticated menu without opening a transaction.
