The worst exchange ever, they froze my account after 8 years. I have been a client of this exchange. I have contacted them many times, and still I can not withdraw my coins, and my account is still frozen
They don't seem to have a stop loss function. They also have a 0.00050000 fee for transfers which is like $50 bucks right now. Not very happy with them.
Charge higher fees than some other brokers
Further research I’ve found too many unhappy users. Also I thought it would have a more streamline UI for buying and selling crypto via scalping
ACH deposits have to fully clear before you are able to make another deposit. Was not like this on other exchanges was able to make max deposits each biz day.
It is a must for me to be able to place stop and take profit levels in one go on Trading view this exchange does not have that feature i will be leaving, Tradingview it would be super helpful to know more about the exchanges and brokers features before we waste time signing up to find out
So far so good. Simple and does exactly what its needs to do. Fees are considerate.
candle chart works very slow and no option for SL TP
i can't add money to my account because my bank isn't supported
its to difficult to start trading, its only good for investing buying and holding crypto.
pretty good. fees could be lower. API does not support stop orders

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.
It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.

Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
