# Recent Trades

The trade channel generates a trade event when orders are matched in the book. Multiple trades may be batched in a single message but that does not mean that these trades resulted from a single taker order.

{% hint style="info" %}
When subscribing, the `pair should` be set in **alphanumeric format only**. Do not use separators between the base and quote asset. The correct format for NIZA/USDT to be set in a channel name is `NIZAUSDT`.
{% endhint %}

### Subscribe with Pusher

```javascript
var channel = pusher.subscribe("trade.{pair}");
```

### Subscribe Request Payload

```javascript
{
   "event": "pusher:subscribe",
   "data": {
       "channel": "trade.{pair}"
