I'm trying to understand the difference between the 'allow taker' and 'post only' options on Coinbase. Could someone explain the distinction between these two settings and how they affect trades?

Market Orders are not allowed in Post-only Mode, meaning traders cannot execute immediate trades by taking existing orders from the Order Book.

Additionally, no orders will be filled in this mode, as the primary purpose is to ensure that only new orders are added to the Order Book.

Post-only Mode is a trading mechanism that restricts the types of orders traders can place.

In this mode, traders can only submit an order if it would be recorded in the Order Book as a Maker Order.

Any order that would be posted as a Taker Order will automatically be rejected by the system.
