Although not visible, the internal market is already working and HBD can be exchanged for HIVE.

## Prepare beempy
You need to have an up to date [beem](https://github.com/holgern/beem) version 0.22.8
```
beempy updatenodes --hive
beempy currentnode
```
should return now
```
+----------+-----------------------+
| Key      | Value                 |

| Node-Url | https://api.hive.blog |
| Version  | 0.23.0                |
| HIVE     | True                  |

```

## Check the orderbook
```
beempy orderbook --chart
```
```

## Let's trade some HBD for HIVE
First we should check our balance:
```
beempy balance holger80
```
and then start to sell 1 HBD
```
beempy sell -a holger80 1 HBD
```
I'm now asked if the price is ok:
```
Is the following Price ok: 0.253913 HBD/HIVE [y/n]:
```
and should then enter my active wif:
```
Password to unlock wallet or posting/active wif:
```
I see then the broadcasted op:
```
Wif accepted!

    ]
}
```
and can check my open orders:
```
beempy openorders holger80 
```

```
+------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------+----------+
|    Orderid |             Created |                                    Order |  Account |

| 3815817900 | 2020-03-24T20:33:33 | 3.938 HIVE 1.000 HBD @ 0.253936 HBD/HIVE | holger80 |
+------------+---------------------+------------------------------------------+----------+
```
## Cancel open orders
I can cancel my order by
```
beempy cancel -a 3815817900 
```

Instead of selling 1 HBD, I can also buy 1 HIVE by
```
beempy buy -a holger80 1 HIVE
```
after checking the price and entering my wif, the order is placed.

## Using the orderbook to fulfill orders
Let's check the first 5 orders:
```
beempy orderbook -l 5
```
```
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Asks Sum HBD |                                  Sell Orders | Bids Sum HBD |                                Buy Orders |

|       240.43 | 637.769 HIVE 174.284 HBD @ 0.273271 HBD/HIVE |         0.70 |  1.032 HIVE 0.262 HBD @ 0.253876 HBD/HIVE |
|       267.93 |  100.000 HIVE 27.500 HBD @ 0.275000 HBD/HIVE |         0.91 |  0.842 HIVE 0.211 HBD @ 0.250594 HBD/HIVE |
|       283.93 |   53.344 HIVE 16.002 HBD @ 0.299978 HBD/HIVE |         0.91 |  0.004 HIVE 0.001 HBD @ 0.250000 HBD/HIVE |
|       296.29 |   41.191 HIVE 12.357 HBD @ 0.299993 HBD/HIVE |         6.64 | 23.778 HIVE 5.731 HBD @ 0.241021 HBD/HIVE |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------------------------------+
```
I can now sell 1 HBD @ 0.253993 HBD/HIVE as shown in the Asks column and the order should be fulfilled without waiting. Let's try:
```
 beempy sell -a holger80 1 HBD 0.253993
```
This time, I can enter the wif without asking for the price. The orderbook is empty this time:
```
beempy openorders  holger80 
```
```
+---------+---------+-------+---------+
| Orderid | Created | Order | Account |
+---------+---------+-------+---------+
+---------+---------+-------+---------+
```
The blockexplorer shows that my order was fulfilled:

I hope this help as long as the internal market has no interface.
