The post PS2 – Randomizer appeared first on Zignaly.
]]>In PS2, one of the most complex parts is to check what happens under certain circumstances with multiple users investing in the services or disconnecting, all at the same time. We can try to create tests and examples to simulate some actions, but we noticed that it was far from reality. For this reason, we created the Randomizer!
The Randomizer is an internal tool that creates services, makes that investor connects to them, disconnects or reduces his balances, or hard disconnects in a completely unexpected way allowing us to analyze and detect possible errors in thousands of scenarios.
Here you can see, for example, the list of our fictional users (I hope you like the series Money Heist, if you haven’t watched it, I will recommend it to you):

And our list of fake services, ready to generate some profits and losses for the users:

Every time that we start our PS2 project, we have this fabulous look and feel

And this is an example of how the execution of the script:

Here we can see how the new accounting process is executed in each of the services, and how much balance each service has as invested or in hard disconnection.
This can simulate hundreds of days of profit-sharing 2.0 until it finds a bug. We have set it up to allow us to review and adjust the scenarios even to only certain conditions. So for example, if we want to run only for one service or disable the hard disconnections, it is possible.

And here you can also see it in an example with more details, where we can see each of the times that users invest in the service or that request to invest out funds additionally to the accounting process.

These simulations are helping us to create a more solid system and to guarantee that we cover complex scenarios before launching it to the world.

]]>The post Risk Warning appeared first on Zignaly.
]]>Spot trading or Margin Trading in Virtual Assets and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives (“Trading”) carries a high level of risk to your capital. Trading is not suitable for everyone and may result in losses that are greater than your deposits. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose.
This Risk Warning (this “Warning”) provides you with a non-exhaustive overview of the key risks that you should take into account when deciding whether to open an Account and trade in Virtual Asssets and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives. This Warning does not explain all of the risks involved in Trading or how the risks relate to your personal circumstances. It is important that you read and understand the relevant legal documentation to fully be aware of the risks involved according to your personal circumstances before deciding to open an Account and access and/or use the Services. We recommend that you seek independent advice if you are unsure.
In consideration of Highend Technologies LLC (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Zignaly”) agreeing to provide Services to the User, the User acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
NO GUARANTEE OF PROFITS
Zignaly provides no guarantees of profit nor of avoiding losses when Trading. User has received NO guarantee from Zignaly or from any Zignaly Entities. Users are aware of the risks inherent in trading and are financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.
NO INVESTMENT, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, REGULATORY OR TAX ADVICE
You are solely responsible for any decisions that you make in relation to the Virtual Assets, and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives purchased, sold and/or traded through our Services.
Zignaly is not an investment, financial, legal or tax advisor nor do we provide any investment, financial, regulatory, tax or legal advice. In certain cases, we may provide you with general factual information about the market and our Services. Any information and analysis provided by us is general in nature, and purely for informational purposes, and does not take into account the User’s personal objectives, financial situation, investment risk profile or needs. Furthermore, you must not regard any of the information that we provide to you as an investment recommendation or an offer to make a transaction.
APPROPRIATENESS
Do not invest with money or Virtual Assets you cannot afford to lose. Trading carries a high degree of risk and due to fluctuations in value, the User may not get back the amount invested, or you may lose a substantial proportion or all of your capital. Virtual Assets, and Virtual Assets Derivatives are not suitable for everyone. You should carefully consider whether you can afford to bear the risks of loss involved in using the Services and, in particular, trading Virtual Assets, and Virtual Assets Derivatives.
Virtual Assets, and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives are not suitable for an investor seeking an income from their investments, as the income from such investments may fluctuate in value in money terms.
If you decide to continue and open an Account and use the Services, you are confirming that you are aware of and understand the risks.
THE SERVICES
The User is warned, and the User agrees and understands that when trading using Zignaly Services he assumes risk of financial loss which may be a consequence of amongst other things: i) Failure of User’s devices, software and poor quality of connection; ii) Zignaly or User’s hardware or software failure, malfunction or misuse; iii) Improper work of User’s equipment; iv) Wrong setting of User’s Terminal; and/or v) Delayed updates of User’s Terminal.
Zignaly provides the Trading Terminal, an interface that connects users to Digital Asset Exchanges. However, Zignaly does not operate a Digital Asset Exchange. We do not administer the underlying trading platforms of the Digital Asset Exchanges for the bids or offers and we do not enforce contracts among parties engaged in financing activities available on those Digital Asset Exchanges through the Trading Terminal. The underlying trading platform of the Trading Terminal is administered and operated by the Digital Asset Exchange. We shall in no event be held liable for any loss or other damages, including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from the acts of any operator of the Digital Asset Exchange. You are responsible for understanding the Terms and Conditions of the operators of the Digital Asset Exchanges.
Although Zignaly uses its best efforts to conduct comprehensive due diligence on the Digital Asset Exchanges available in the Trading Terminal, these Digital Asset Exchanges may be unregulated exchanges and their practices may vary widely, including as to their security, encryption, and liability for losses. Digital Asset Exchanges may not be required to comply with any rules regarding wash trading, insider trading, promoting price discovery, insuring losses, protecting against fraud, ensuring anti-money laundering compliance, and many other salient features. Digital Asset Exchanges may carry on fraudulent operations or fronts for fraudulent schemes and be in a jurisdiction where there is no likelihood of recovery or recompense. Digital Asset Exchanges could provide incorrect, delayed, or otherwise flawed data for a variety of reasons, including as a result of software bugs and the aforementioned limited oversight on markets for cryptocurrencies. Such poor data could misinform the User trading strategies or engender inaccurate price discovery mechanisms. Errors, fraud, and other issues with Digital Asset Exchanges have resulted in extensive, irretrievable losses on multiple occasions in the recent past. The underlying software and mechanisms for the Digital Asset Exchanges could malfunction, executing trades for the Users at faulty prices and adversely affecting the Users’ investments. Digital Asset Exchanges could choose to roll back trades to the benefit of other parties but to the detriment of the Users. In general, errors and unreviewable decisions by the exchanges could adversely impact the value of the investment of the Users.
COPY TRADERS, SIGNAL PROVIDERS, PAMM MANAGERS
Users choosing to configure any number or type of trading signals made available by Signal Providers do so with the understanding that Zignaly may not be held responsible for any delayed, failed, or incorrectly transmitted notification. A trading signal may not successfully reach the user for any number of reasons, such as the failure of servers. Even without such failure or delay of an alert, the validity and usefulness of the information represented in a successfully transmitted alert of a trading signal may be diminished due to market volatility, incorrect pricing or other information sourced from a Digital Asset Exchange, or other unforeseen technical issues or market conditions. In particular, a Digital Asset or Digital Asset Derivative may be temporarily or permanently delisted from a Digital Asset Exchange without notice, or support for certain Digital Assets, Digital Asset Derivatives and/or Digital Asset Exchanges may become unavailable, in which case related trading signals may have diminished utility.
Zignaly expressly states to the User that it does not guarantee profit or the recurrence of rates of return that have been made by the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider in the past and warns that no positive record of trading strategy implementation ensures the repeat of trading success in the future.
A PAMM Manager can disrupt the obligation to manage the PAMM Accounts with respect to the best interests of Users, which we may not have the information, so that the funds invested to a PAMM Account, can be lost.
The User bears financial responsibility for any losses incurred on the Account as a result of the trading signals of the Signal Providers and/or the trading activities of the Copy Traders and/or the PAMM Managers.
The User accepts full responsibility for any and all financial losses such as direct losses or profit losses resulting from the following risks: i) risk that the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider does not possess the necessary qualification (if required) or knowledge necessary to carry out trading activities; ii) risk that the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider may carry out fraudulent operations using the Services functionality; iii) risk that the Copy Trader, PAMM Manager, Signal Provider may lose control over the Account and third parties may gain access to the Account; iv) risk that the User may misunderstand or misinterpret these Terms; v) risk of the Copy Trader, User, PAMM Manager, Signal Provider Account closure.
GENERAL TRADING RISKS
Virtual Asset prices are highly volatile and trading in Virtual Assets is extremely risky. In addition, several factors may affect market liquidity for a particular Virtual Asset, such as regulatory activity, market manipulation, the acts or omissions of the issuer of the Virtual Asset, or unexplainable price volatility. VirtualAssets are decentralized and non-regulated, which means that there is no central bank that can take corrective measures to protect the value of a Virtual Asset in a crisis or issue more Virtual Assets. As a result, Virtual Asset trading involves a high risk of loss of funds over a short period of time due to high market volatility, execution issues and industry-specific disruptive events, including, but not limited to, discontinuation, regulatory bans and other malicious actors within the Virtual Assets industry.
Digital Asset Exchanges could provide incorrect, delayed, or otherwise flawed data for a variety of reasons, including as a result of software bugs and the limited oversight on markets for Virtual Assets. Such poor data could misinform the User trading strategies or engender inaccurate price discovery mechanisms. Errors, fraud, and other issues with Digital Asset Exchanges have resulted in extensive, irretrievable losses on multiple occasions in the recent past. The underlying software and mechanisms for the Digital Asset Exchanges could malfunction, executing trades for Users at faulty prices and adversely affecting the User investments. In general, errors and unreviewable decisions by Digital Asset Exchanges could adversely impact the value of the investment of the Users.
It is important that you comprehend the risks associated with trading on a market as fluctuations in the price of the underlying spot market will have an effect on the profitability of the trade.
When Trading, Slippage may occur. Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a Transaction, and the price the Transaction is actually executed at. Slippage often occurs during periods of higher volatility (for example due to news events) making an order at a specific price impossible to execute, when market orders are used, and also when large orders are executed when there may not be enough interest at the desired price level to maintain the expected price of the trade. Furthermore, prices displayed on the Trading Terminal are solely an indication of the executable rates and may not reflect the actual executed or executable price of an order due to issues related to latency in the prices provided and connectivity issues. It is important that you comprehend that when placing an order, your order may not be filled at the quoted price.
By using the Services, you accept the risk of trading Virtual Assets, and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives. In entering into any transaction, you represent that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal into the risks of the transaction and the underlying Virtual Asset.
LIQUIDITY RISKS
Trading in Virtual Assets, and/or Virtual Asset Derivatives is riskier, less liquid and more volatile. The liquidity of the markets on the Trading Terminal will depend on, among other things, supply and demand on the Trading Terminal and the interest in these markets. There is a risk that there may be limited volume and liquidity which may result in delays in order execution, and potentially, some orders may not be executed.
VIRTUAL ASSET PRICING RISKS
Digital Asset Exchanges may use its own or a third-party methodology for calculation of Virtual Asset prices, which may differ from publicly-reported prices from other sources. The methodology and the sources for calculating the Virtual Asset prices may be subject to change at any time without notice in the Digital Asset Exchange sole and absolute discretion. The change of methodology and sources for calculating Virtual Asset prices may affect the published prices, and therefore, may affect the profitability or losses of your trades. Zignaly is not responsible or liable for any direct or consequential losses a User may incur as a result (directly or indirectly) of a change in the methodology and the sources for calculating the Virtual Asset prices by Digital Asset Exchanges.
MARGIN TRADING RISKS
Margin Trading means that both profits and losses can be magnified, and you could incur very large losses if your position moves against you. You may even suffer losses that exceed the amount you deposited as Margin and your failure to maintain a sufficient amount of Margin may result in the forced-liquidation of your positions.
Before you open a Margin Trading position, the relevant Digital Asset Exchange may require you to deposit an initial Margin and, in order to keep a Transaction open. This means that you will be trading using ‘leverage’ or ‘gearing’ and this can work for or against you; a small price movement in your favour can result in a high return on the initial Margin placed for the trade, but a small price movement against you may result in substantial losses.
Margin Trading means you can secure a significantly larger exposure to an underlying asset for a relatively small initial Margin. However, the use of leverage magnifies the size of your trade, which means your potential gain and your potential loss are equally magnified. Therefore, you should closely monitor all of your open positions to manage the risk of large losses.
DIGITAL ASSET WALLET RISKS
You are responsible to use the correct blockchain address of your virtual asset wallet address or addresses associated with your Account (the “ Digital Asset Wallet ”) for any deposit, or transfer, and that the address you use is compatible with the Virtual Asset you are depositing, or transferring. Any inaccuracy in a Digital Asset Wallet or in the Virtual Asset that you attempt to transfer, may result in total loss of the Virtual Asset concerned.
Zignaly does not provide custodial services. Digital Assets maintained in your Iron Cove Markets account are either maintained in your External Exchange Account and/or your Exchange Sub-Account under the Exchange Master Account from a Digital Asset Exchange. You acknowledge, understand and agree that Zignaly shall not be held liable for losses arising from any security issues of the Digital Asset Exchanges or from any actions taken by the Digital Asset Exchanges.
Furthermore, Virtual Assets transferred to or held in the Digital Asset Wallet are not insured by any Government Agency or public authority, and are not covered by any deposit protection schemes. Furthermore, they are segregated from, and may be commingled with, other Users’ Virtual Assets. Zignaly does not have any trust, fiduciary, or other custodial relationship with you. Your Wallet Account balances (including both deposits, trading profits or any other Virtual Assets kept in your Digital Asset Wallet) are not insured, and therefore they are at a risk of total loss, from, among others things, security breaches (whether in respect of your accounts specifically or the Services), electronic, technological or systems failures, and Zignaly insolvency or bankruptcy, or equivalent formal proceedings.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
Operational risks with Zignaly on your computer are inherent in every transaction. For example, disruptions in Zignaly’s operational processes such as communications, computers, computer or mobile networks or external events may lead to delays in the execution and settlement of a transaction. Zignaly does not accept or bear any liability whatsoever in relation to the operational processes of Zignaly, except to the extent that it is caused by the fraud, negligence or dishonesty by Zignaly.
In connection with the use of computer equipment and data, the User bears certain risks amongst other risks, in which cases Zignaly has no liability of any resulting loss, including but not limited to i) Power cut of the equipment on the side of the User or the provider; ii) wrong or inconsistent with requirements settings of the User Terminal; or iii) Untimely update of the User Terminal. The User may suffer financial losses caused by the materialization of these risks, Zignaly does have no responsibility or liability in the case of such a risk materializing and the User shall be responsible for all related losses he may suffer.
REGULATORY RISKS
Neither Zignaly nor the Services are regulated or supervised by any regulatory body. You understand your responsibility to make sure that you comply with any and all laws, regulations, directives, restrictions of your place or places of residence before using our Services. Our Services shall not be accessed or used, and we do not offer or solicit the access or use of the Services, in jurisdictions in which the Services are not permitted (including, without limitation, Prohibited Jurisdictions).
Regulation of Virtual Assets, Virtual Asset Derivatives, Virtual Asset service providers, and blockchain technologies, which include Zignaly Services lack uniformity and are unsettled in many jurisdictions. These regulations are evolving rapidly, are subject to significant variation among international jurisdictions and are generally subject to significant uncertainty. Zignaly may receive queries, notices, warnings, requests or rulings from one or more regulatory authorities from time to time, or may even be ordered to suspend or discontinue any action in connection with the Services. There is no guarantee that new laws or regulations or new enforcement or interpretation of current laws or regulations will not adversely affect Virtual Assets, or Virtual Assets Derivatives, the Services, the price and liquidity of the Virtual Assets, or Virtual Assets Derivatives traded through the Trading Terminal. Furthermore, Zignaly may limit the availability of the Services to certain persons based on their citizenship, residence or location from engaging in any transactions, which may also negatively affect the aforementioned price and liquidity of the Virtual Assets, or Virtual Assets Derivatives traded through the Trading Terminal.
CYBERSECURITY RISKS
There have been many documented incidents of thefts and attempted thefts of Virtual Assets and Digital Asset Exchanges. This may make such entities the target of cryptocurrency thieves and scammers. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of cryptocurrency, there likely will always be a risk of vulnerability to theft even with adherence to security best practices. There can be no guarantee that Digital Asset Exchanges will not be a victim of Virtual Asset theft, the result of which may adversely affect the Users, including a loss of the Virtual Assets held in their Digital Asset Wallet.
Furthermore, cyberattacks, including but not limited to malware attacks, denial of service attacks, coordinated attacks and account takeovers may negatively affect the Services, and the value of Virtual Assets, or Virtual Assets Derivatives traded through the Services. Cyberattacks may also lead to unauthorized access to Accounts or Iron Cove Markets systems for misappropriation of assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyberattacks to third party service providers could substantially affect the Services.

INSOLVENCY RISK

Furthermore, tax laws and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation, especially when cross-border transactions and multiple tax jurisdictions are involved. Consequently, Zignaly are subject to changing tax laws, treaties and regulations. If any tax authority successfully challenges the operational structure of Zignaly, or Zignaly loses a material tax dispute, the Zignaly tax liabilities could increase substantially. This could cause Zignaly financial resources to be constrained or impaired. This in turn could negatively affect the availability and/or provision of the Services.

In the case of a loss of Digital Assets due to Blockchain Mismatch occurs when transferring Digital Assets to your Account, Zignaly is not responsible for any losses or fortaking any actions to attempt to recover such Digital Assets. The User acknowledges, understands and agrees that Digital Assets lost due to a Blockchain Mismatch are not recoverable by Zignaly.

We are not liable for any damages incurred due to a delay in executing your withdrawal request.
7.6. Dormant Accounts and Unclaimed Property. In the event, there are Digital Assets in your Exchange Sub-Account, and we are unable to contact you and have no record of your access and/or use of the Services for a period of time, we may be required by law to report these Digital Assets as unclaimed property to the relevant Digital Asset Exchange or the relevant jurisdiction. If this occurs, we will attempt to locate you at the last known address in our records (if any), but if we are unable to locate you, we are not responsible for the actions taken by the Digital Asset Exchange, and we may need to report the Digital Assets to the applicable jurisdiction as unclaimed property. We reserve the right to deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed Digital Assets.
7.7. Account History. A historical record of your transactions on your Account (” Account History “) may be available on your Account. You acknowledge, understand and agree that the Account History shall not be treated as a valuation of your Account. We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the information contained in your Account History and any notices Zignaly provides to you are accurate and reliable; however, errors may occur from time to time and such errors do not impact the actual means and results of a given transaction. It is your sole responsibility to review your Account History and any notices.

7.8. Forks. Digital Assets are based on an open source protocol. Anyone may clone the source code of the Digital Asset and develop a diverging blockchain protocol without prior permission by anyone else, also known as “Forks”. Forks can be made to any Digital Asset that may change the usability, functions, value or even name of a given Digital Asset. Such Forks may result in multiple versions of a Digital Asset Asset and could lead to the dominance of one or more such versions of a Digital Asset Asset (each a “ Dominant Digital Asset ”) and the partial or total abandonment or loss of value of any other versions of such Digital Asset (each a “ Non Dominant Digital Asset ”). Zignaly is under no obligation and may not be able to support a Fork of a Digital Asset that you hold through your Account, whether or not any resulting version of such forked Digital Asset is a Dominant Digital Asset or Non-Dominant Digital Asset or holds value at or following such Fork. Furthermore, as Zignaly does not hold custody of the Digital Assets, we cannot guarantee and assume no responsibility on whether a given Digital Asset Exchange supports a given Fork. If the Digital Asset Exchange does not support the Fork, you may not be able to receive the Digital Assets arising from such Fork. Forks of Digital Assets can be frequent, contentious and unpredictable, and therefore cannot be consistently supported on Zignaly. When trading or holding Digital Assets using your Account, you should operate under the assumption that Zignaly and/or the Digital Asset Exchanges will never support any Fork of such Digital Asset. If Zignaly or the Digital Asset Exchanges elect, in their sole discretion, to support a Fork of a Digital Asset, it may choose to do so by making a public announcement through the Website or the Digital Asset Exchanges respective sites, or otherwise notifying Users, and shall bear no liability for any real or potential losses that may result based on the decision to support such Fork or the timing of implementation of support. If Zignaly and/or the Digital Asset Exchanges, in their sole discretion, do not elect to support a Fork of a given Digital Asset, including the determination to support, continue to support, or cease to support any Dominant Digital Asset or Non Dominant Digital Asset, Zignaly assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any losses or other issues that might arise from an unsupported Fork of a Digital Asset

10. RISK DISCLOSURES
Trading Digital Assets and/or Digital Asset Derivatives is risky and you should never trade more than you can afford to lose. The following list of risks associated with Digital Assets, and Digital Asset Derivatives, and the Services is not exhaustive. Please read the Risk Warning for further information.
a) Digital Asset prices are highly volatile and trading in Digital Assets is extremely risky. In addition, several factors may affect market liquidity for a particular Digital Asset, such as regulatory activity, market manipulation, the acts or omissions of the issuer of the Digital Asset, or unexplainable price volatility. By using the Services, you accept the risk of trading Digital Assets, and Digital Asset Derivatives. In entering into any transaction, you represent that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal of the risks of the transaction and the underlying Digital Asset.
b) We do not advise on the merits of any particular Digital Assets, Digital Asset Derivatives, Copy Traders, PAMM Managers, Signal Providers and/or Digital Asset Exchanges. We do not advise on transactions, or associated risks, or provide any other financial, investment or legal advice in connection with the Services. To the extent that we do provide trading data, post market commentary, articles, or make social media posts, the act of doing so is incidental to your relationship with us and such information may not be considered as investment or financial advice and should not be construed as such. BUYING OR SELLING DIGITAL ASSETS AND/OR DIGITAL ASSET DERIVATIVES IS SOLELY THE USER’S DECISION AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENT LOSS.
c) The availability of a Copy Trader or a Signal Provider via the Services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of their merits. We give no warranty as to the suitability or reliability of the Copy Trader or Signal Providers, and we owe no fiduciary duty in our relations with you. You must conduct your own due diligence.
d) No brokerage of transactions or provision of investment advice. We provide a software and platform for connecting Users to Copy Traders, Signal Providers, PAMM Managers and Digital Asset Exchanges. Although we may have a certain degree of control over your Exchange Sub-Accounts maintained under our Exchange Master Account, and that your trades executed under the Exchange Sub-Accounts are booked in your segregated account of the Exchange Master Account , we do not broker transactions on your behalf. Our Relationship does not constitute a Broker-Client Relationship. We do not act as a principal, counterparty, or market-maker in the transactions effected through trading using the Services or in providing financing for financed trading on the Trading Terminal.
e) Users choosing to configure any number or type of trading signals made available by Signal Providers do so with the understanding that Zignaly may not be held responsible for any delayed, failed, or incorrectly transmitted notification. A trading signal may not successfully reach the user for any number of reasons, such as the failure of servers. Even without such failure or delay of an alert, the validity and usefulness of the information represented in a successfully transmitted alert of a trading signal may be diminished due to market volatility, incorrect pricing or other information sourced from a Digital Asset Exchange, or other unforeseen technical issues or market conditions. In particular, a Digital Asset or Digital Asset Derivative may be temporarily or permanently delisted from a Digital Asset Exchange without notice, or support for certain Digital Assets, Digital Asset Derivatives and/or Digital Asset Exchanges may become unavailable, in which case related trading signals may have diminished utility.
f) Zignaly expressly states to the User that it does not guarantee profit or the recurrence of rates of return that have been made by the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider in the past and warns that no positive record of trading strategy implementation ensures the repeat of trading success in the future.
g) A PAMM Manager can disrupt the obligation to manage the PAMM Accounts with respect to the best interests of Users, which we may not have the information, so that the funds invested to a PAMM Account, can be lost.
h) The User bears financial responsibility for any losses incurred on the Account as a result of the trading signals of the Signal Providers and/or the trading activities of the Copy Traders and/or the PAMM Managers.
i) The User accepts full responsibility for any and all financial losses such as direct losses or profit losses resulting from the following risks: i) risk that the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider does not possess the necessary qualification (if required) or knowledge necessary to carry out trading activities; ii) risk that the PAMM Manager, Copy Trader and/or Signal Provider may carry out fraudulent operations using the Services functionality; iii) risk that the Copy Trader, PAMM Manager, Signal Provider may lose control over the Account and third parties may gain access to the Account; iv) risk that the User may misunderstand or misinterpret these Terms; v) risk of the Copy Trader, User, PAMM Manager, Signal Provider Account closure.
j)We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Services, and operation of our Website or Services may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control, including regulatory reasons and issues with various Blockchain networks.
k) Zignaly provides the Trading Terminal, an interface that connects users to Digital Asset Exchanges. However, Zignaly does not operate a Digital Asset Exchange. We do not administer the underlying trading platforms of the Digital Asset Exchanges for the bids or offers and we do not enforce contracts among parties engaged in financing activities available on those Digital Asset Exchanges through the Trading Terminal. The underlying trading platform of the Trading Terminal is administered and operated by the Digital Asset Exchange. We shall in no event be held liable for any loss or other damages, including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from the acts of any operator of the Digital Asset Exchange. You are responsible for understanding the Terms and Conditions of the operators of the Digital Asset Exchanges.
l) Zignaly does not provide custodial services. Digital Assets maintained in your Iron Cove Markets account are either maintained in your External Exchange Account and/or your Exchange Sub-Account under the Exchange Master Account from a Digital Asset Exchange. You acknowledge, understand and agree that Zignaly shall not be held liable for losses arising from any security issues of the Digital Asset Exchanges or from any actions taken by the Digital Asset Exchanges.
m) Although Zignaly uses its best efforts to conduct comprehensive due diligence on the Digital Asset Exchanges available in the Trading Terminal, these Digital Asset Exchanges may be unregulated exchanges and their practices may vary widely, including as to their security, encryption, and liability for losses. Digital Asset Exchanges may not be required to comply with any rules regarding wash trading, insider trading, promoting price discovery, insuring losses, protecting against fraud, ensuring anti-money laundering compliance, and many other salient features. Digital Asset Exchanges may carry on fraudulent operations or fronts for fraudulent schemes and be in a jurisdiction where there is no likelihood of recovery or recompense. Digital Asset Exchanges could provide incorrect, delayed, or otherwise flawed data for a variety of reasons, including as a result of software bugs and the aforementioned limited oversight on markets for cryptocurrencies. Such poor data could misinform the User trading strategies or engender inaccurate price discovery mechanisms. Errors, fraud, and other issues with Digital Asset Exchanges have resulted in extensive, irretrievable losses on multiple occasions in the recent past. The underlying software and mechanisms for the Digital Asset Exchanges could malfunction, executing trades for the Users at faulty prices and adversely affecting the Users’ investments. Digital Asset Exchanges could choose to roll back trades to the benefit of other parties but to the detriment of the Users. In general, errors and unreviewable decisions by the exchanges could adversely impact the value of the investment of the Users.
11. LIQUIDATION OF ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENT OF DEFICIT BALANCES
In the event of:
a) the death or judicial declaration of incompetence of the User;
b) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, or a petition for the appointment of a receiver, or the institution of any insolvency or similar proceeding by or against User;
c) User’s failure to provide us with any information requested pursuant to these Terms or any applicable law; or
d) any abuse of trading practices, manipulations and/or fraud by User or any other person authorized to use the account; or
e) any other circumstances or developments that we deem appropriate for its protection, and in Iron Cove Markets sole discretion,
Zignaly reserves the right to satisfy any obligation User may have, either directly or by way of guaranty of suretyship, out of any of User’s funds held in the Exchange Sub-Account. This action may be taken without prior notice of sale or purchase or other notice to User, User’s personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legatees or assigns and regardless of whether the ownership interest shall be solely User’s or held jointly with others.
12. INDEMNIFICATION

You also agree to pay Zignaly Entities promptly all damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in the enforcement of any of the provisions of these Terms and any other agreements between Zignaly and the User.

]]>The post OKEx Review appeared first on Zignaly.
]]>OKEx is a crypto exchange that used to be located in Hong Kong, but it’s apparently moved to Malta, no doubt because—along with Estonia and Gibraltar— that’s one of the few European countries that has clearly defined licensing requirements for crypto exchanges. They are so well-defined in fact, that many crypto exchanges from around the world have gone to Malta too.
OKEx offers many services under one roof, including spot trading (the name for typical trading) and derivatives trading. It’s interesting to note that (as of this writing) OKEx has become the biggest crypto spot and futures exchange on the planet.
You should be aware that investors from the US aren’t allowed to trade on the OKEx exchange, so you’ll have to look elsewhere if you’re a citizen. But that shouldn’t be too much of a burden because there are plenty of other high-quality exchanges to choose from.
As part of this OKEx review need to point out that its trading volume has frequently been high enough to rank it among the top five exchanges, which means we are talking about cryptocurrency orders that regularly hit US$1 billion per day. This kind of volume means that it can offer very high levels of liquidity—a real benefit for traders. In a sign of how popular crypto trading has become, OKEx hit a trading volume of US$2.54 billion in 2020, but this was now only good enough to give it eighth place on the list of top exchanges. It’s interesting to see that OKEx’s overall volume has increased, and that its competitors clearly have as well.
if you want to be able to access your exchange by firing up a mobile desktop app, then OKEx can accommodate you. There is a downloadable desktop client, and versions exist on the App Store and Google Play too, for Windows and Apple users.
There is no overall best trading view. The best one is the one that works best for you, but as a minimum (because most platforms have this) it should show all part of the orderbook, the price chart of your chosen crypto and your order history. You should also be able to see buy and sell boxes. Since this is quite a personal decision, it’s advisable for you to look at the trading view and hopefully try it out. It’s the best way to tell if it’s going to be to your liking.
OKEx charges 0.15% trading fees for takers which is a little bit lower than the industry average of 0.25%. This isn’t unusual though because there are plenty of exchanges out there doing it, and it’s a shift that’s pushing fees in general down to somewhere between 0.15% an 0.10%. OKEx gives a discount to trade makers with a fee of 0.10%.
You’ll be pleased to know that there are benefits to be had from achieving higher trading volumes with OKEx. That’s because it operates a discount system which means that the more you trade, the more you save.
For example, as a regular user doing some spot trading, you’ll be subject to a standard 0.15% as a taker and 0.10% as a maker, as we said before. But, if your trading volume rises to more than 1000 BTC for 30 days and you’re also holding more than 2,000 OKB tokens (OKEx’s native token), then those fees drop to 0.09% for takers and 0.06% for makers. These are very generous fees, and doing this would only cost you $5,173USD (as at 11.20.19). VIP users benefit from even better trading fees.
When you withdraw BTC OKEx charges you a fee of 0.0005 BTC, a much lower fee than the industry charges on average of 0.000812 BTC per BTC-withdrawal. That means OKEx will charge you around 40% less than the industry average for each withdrawal which makes it very competitive and well worth considering for that reason alone.
OKEx lets you make deposits via wire transfer and credit cards, which makes it very convenient for newer crypto investors. This kind of user-friendliness makes a great entry-level proposition for those who aren’t familiar with the deeper intricacies of the crypto world. All in all, the combination of trading volume, discounts, convenience, makes OKEx exchange a very attractive proposition for any crypto investor.

]]>The post FTX Review appeared first on Zignaly.
]]>What is the FTX exchange, and how does it work? You’ll find out in our in-depth FTX review.
If you’ve never heard of FTX, it’s a popular crypto exchange launched in early 2019, registered in Antigua and Barbuda. It’s based around trading derivatives, which are instruments priced according to the value of other assets (such as bonds, stocks, and commodities).
In a crypto trading context, the value of derivatives comes from specific cryptocurrencies’ prices. Traders are able to take part in derivatives trading linked to approximately twenty cryptocurrencies at FTX. That’s an impressive advantage, considering so many alternative derivatives exchanges offer ETH and BTC trading only.
For most crypto traders, a desktop computer is the most convenient and practical way to work. The critical data you need to view can fit onto a bigger screen comfortably, allowing you to read without straining your eyes or becoming confused. Charts may display quickly and more clearly, too.
But not all traders prefer desktop computers — some choose to trade through their mobile devices instead. If this applies to you, there’s good news: the FTX exchange is compatible with smartphones and tablets. You can download it from either Google Play or the App Store.
No FTX review would be complete without exploring its trading view. This is a major element of the FTX website, displaying a specific cryptocurrency’s price chart and its present price. You can find up-to-the-minute insights here, and place orders on the relevant crypto courtesy of the buy and sell boxes.
The majority of platforms also present you with your order history, to help you keep track of your previous activities. All of this is contained in the same trading view on your desktop.
However, while FTX’s trading view is outstanding, you may feel it’s not ideal, based on your personal preferences. Fortunately, you can adjust the settings to create a trading view that suits you better.
If you choose to sign up with FTX, you can take advantage of leveraged trading. The maximum level is three times the relevant amount, which is lower than at some other exchanges offering leverage levels as high as ten times the amount.
You need to think carefully before trying leveraged trading for the first time. Yes, it can generate significant returns for you, but the potential losses could be equally large.
For example, imagine if you had $10K in your trading account (a very healthy balance) and decided to place $100 on Ethereum’s value increasing. If you were to do this with 100x leverage, you would receive $1000 if the value rose by 10 percent. But if Ethereum’s value were to drop by 10 percent, you would lose $1000 instead.
It’s worth keeping this in mind when you think about leveraged trading at the FTX exchange. Don’t rush into a decision.
FTX provides Over The Counter (OTC) trading. How does this work?
Imagine if you had a high volume of a particular crypto (BTC, for example). Now, if you wanted to sell that full amount of BTC, you could do it on a regular platform like other traders.
However, many would choose to execute bigger trades outside the standard market place because they could impact the relevant crypto’s market price.
Additionally, the order book might be a little too thin for executing the trade. Over The Counter trading is a solution to this issue, and it’s available at FTX for you to try now.
Why are US citizens denied the option to join such a large amount of exchanges? This is down to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).
The United States prohibits foreign businesses to solicit investors on its shores, unless said businesses have registered with the SEC. Ignoring this rule can lead to severe legal action, as proven by numerous cryptocurrency exchanges that have been sued (e.g. EtherDelta and Bitfinex). USDT (Tether) was also accused of misleading its investors.
Sadly, if you’re based in the United States and interested in trying cryptocurrency trading, FTX isn’t the exchange for you.
FTX imposes a trading fee on you with each order you place. This is typically a percentage of your order’s value.
FTX divides between ‘takers’ (those who take orders from the book) and ‘makers’ (who place limit orders on the books).
This crypto exchange charges a taker fee of 0.07 percent, which lines up with the average at derivatives exchanges. But FTX charges makers no fees, which is a huge advantage.
You won’t be charged any withdrawal fees by FTX itself, but network fees will be imposed. As a result, you will only pay network fees to miners when withdrawing from FTX. Even this is lower than the industry average, and highly competitive.
These reasonable fees help to give FTX a valuable edge.
At FTX, you can make asset deposits in a variety of ways. Options include debit card, wire transfer, and cryptocurrencies.
As FTX accepts deposits in fiat currencies, this exchange is considered suitable for entry-level traders: you can take your first steps in the crypto trading world with no need to own any crypto coins at the point of signing up and adding funds to your account.
Last but not least: security. It’s a fundamental element of our comprehensive FTX review.
This exchange has been designed to provide users with a high standard of security, and utilizes the latest measures to minimize traders’ risk. You can execute trades without the worry of potential problems caused by data breaches. Nothing is guaranteed, of course, but the team behind the scenes is making every effort.
This brings our FTX review to a close. We hope this helps you make the right decision for your crypto trading goals, whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned investor.

]]>The post KuCoin Review appeared first on Zignaly.
]]>Our KuCoin review is designed to provide you with all the expert insights you need to try this crypto exchange with confidence.
Since it was launched in 2017, KuCoin has gone on to become a major exchange. It has amassed a user base comprising more than five million people from across the globe, spanning more than two-hundred nations.
Seychelles-based KuCoin is generally referred to as the “people’s exchange”, and is recognized for the range of crypto services it offers. These include fiat to crypto, crypto to crypto, staking, futures trading, and more.
KuCoin has in excess of two-hundred-and-fifty supported coins along with four-hundred-and-forty trading pairs. It’s not surprising that it achieved remarkable funding in preparation for its launch, securing investments from Matrix Partners and IDG Capital, and revealed that it had earned $20 million in round-A support from investors within 18 months of launch.
KuCoin clearly benefited from a stable release and has expanded into a major contender on the crypto market in a fairly short space of time. We’ll cover the most crucial factors of its services below, as our KuCoin review continues.
According to Coinmarketcap.com’s ranking process, KuCoin tends to be placed high, based on its liquidity, traffic patterns, and trading volumes. Again, that’s a testament to the exchange’s quality and popularity.
KuCoin also has its own native token, known as KuCoin Shares (KCS). You can expect to receive a KCS bonus every single day if you hold any KuCoin shares, and you’ll get discounts on trading. Reduced fees for withdrawals will be provided, too, while holders are welcome to take part in frequent votes.
Investors located in the United States are welcome to trade on KuCoin, unlike some other exchanges, which prohibit US-based investors from utilizing their services. It’s recommended, though, that American users take the time to determine whether the state in which they reside has any regulations in effect that might interfere with international cryptocurrency trading.
Exchanges incorporate their own trading views, and you need to decide which suits you best based on your personal trading preferences. The views tend to have one thing in common, though: they display the order book (or just a single part of it), as well as the specific cryptos’ price chart and a history of orders.
The trading views usually include “buy” and “sell” boxes, for your convenience. Take the time to explore the trading view options before you select one exchange, to make sure it works for you. KuCoin’s trading view is designed incredibly well and carries a wealth of crucial information.
Another key aspect we considered when writing this KuCoin review is the exchange’s Margin Trading Service.
This empowers traders with the flexibility to utilize funds that have been supplied by other KuCoin users. As a result, they have access to bigger amounts of capital and can leverage positions (for both short and long).
While borrowing these funds can help you achieve higher profits over time, they can also increase potential losses than the investment made initially. Fifteen cryptocurrencies are supported by KuCoin Margin Trading, including Ethereum, KuCoinShares, and of course, Bitcoin. 35 trade pairs feature, too, with as much as 10x leverage available.
The KuCoin futures trading platform was launched in summer 2019. This was followed by the Lite version around six months later.
Futures trading, also known as contract trading, involves the purchase and sale of standardized future contracts of financial assets or commodities. Future contracts stipulate that the buyer will purchase assets at a set cost at a certain time to come. The seller will need to provide said asset at the set price on the proper date.
The KuCoin Over-The-Counter (OTC) Trading Desk was launched in summer 2019. This enables users to execute longer trades at specific prices, with no possibility of triggering changes in that crypto’s value.
The KuCoin OTC Trading Desk supports direct purchases of BTC, USDT, and additional crypto coins via CAD, IDR, VND, or CNY. No trading fees apply and settlements tend to be fast. All you need to take advantage of KuCoin’s OTC trading desk is to complete the full KYC registration process, including the creation of a password.
KuCoin’s Lending platform is designed to support users who lend cryptocurrencies to others, with interest charged to generate extra income. To take part, lenders are required to provide details on the loan amount and the rate of daily interest they wish to charge (within a range of 0 to 0.2 percent).
The Lend Terms selection can vary from one week to two weeks and even around one month (28 days by default).
Pool-X, a staking platform, is known for establishing a free market which solves the staked crypto liquidity issue.
Traders can take part in Staking and achieve rewards, as well as the native Pool-X token (POL Credits). Traders can trade their staking assets with a higher liquidity level in the liquidity trading market.
KuCoin utilizes a flat fee structure, rather than charging a variety of fees between makers and takers. It provides a flat trading fee of 0.10 percent, falling beneath the worldwide average in the industry — while opinions differ on what this average actually is, it’s considered to hover around the 0.25 percent mark.
Paying the trading fees with KuCoinShares can lead to an additional discount. These trading fees are decreased based on the trading volume and holdings of the last 30 days of KuCoin Shares.
A number of crypto exchanges implement highly-competitive trading fees, but manage to hit you with the high cost of their withdrawal charges. But KuCoin is different: the withdrawal fee is equal to around 00004 BTC when withdrawing Bitcoin (for example). This falls below the average in the industry, too.
Overall, the trading and withdrawal fees give KuCoin exchange another major advantage against most of its competitors.
For a brief period, KuCoin accepted deposits in cryptocurrencies only — no fiat funds were permitted. As a result, inexperienced cryptocurrency investors were prevented from trading at KuCoin, though this all changed in summer 2019.
KuCoin’s switch to embracing fiat currency deposits was achieved thanks to Simplex’s cooperation. Its users can now buy Ethereum, LiteCoin, Bitcoin, and Ripple through Visa or MasterCard.
However, users in certain countries on Sanction lists cannot use these deposit methods. These banned nations include North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan.
Furthermore, residents of Washington, New Mexico, Connecticut, New York, Hawaii, and Georgio are prohibited from utilizing this deposit method too. Finally, KuCoin also does not accept payments via wire transfer.
Security is a key concern when considering any cryptocurrency exchange, and KuCoin is no different.
KuCoin exchange stores a huge amount of sensitive data pertaining to its users, such as name, address, taxpayer information, and more. It handles an incredible amount of cryptocurrency and cash deposits.
That means there’s a lot at stake if a cybersecurity attack managed to breach the exchange’s defenses. Fortunately, KuCoin implements the latest security to help safeguard your funds and minimize the risk of data falling into the wrong hands.
That brings our KuCoin review to a close. We hope this helps you understand what to expect if you choose this exchange.

]]>BitMEX, a Seychelles-based crypto exchange, has become one of the largest derivatives exchanges since it was founded in 2014. As of June 2020, BitMEX’s 24-hour trading volume amounted to a staggering $1.58bn, earning it the number-three spot on a list of derivatives exchanges boasting the top 24-hour trading volumes (on Coinmarketcap). What took the top two spaces on that list? Huobi Global and Binance.
Still, BitMEX has achieved a lot in a fairly short period of time and continues to be regarded as one of the leading crypto exchanges. Our BitMEX review explores everything else you need to know to get started with this platform today.
Sadly, investors based in the United States are unable to trade at the BitMEX exchange. The same applies to investors from Japan.
BitMEX Corporate was announced by email in late June 2020. This was designed for BitMEX’s corporate user base, and offers a number of advantages:
The BitMEX trading platform was made in the column-based database kdb+. This database type is also used by banks’ trading platforms.
As a result, BitMEX is incredibly fast and dependable, particularly when compared to a lot of its competitors (such as Poloniex). Its trading view is well designed: it’s clear and makes a lot of sense. You can view key diagrams in the centre, while the history is positioned on the right. The current order book appears on the left.
This simple trading view ensures an accessible user experience. Furthermore, BitMEX’s mobile site is outstanding, and you can even turn on the night mode setting whenever you like. This is ideal if you’re prone to checking your trading activities in bed before you sleep, or just want to give your eyes a rest from glaring screens.
BitMEX provides the option to try leveraged trading, with a maximum of 100x for spot and futures. This applies to both going short and long.
There’s a potential for large returns and, sadly, large losses. For example, if you added $20,000 to your account and placed $200 on ETH’s value increasing 10 percent at 100x leverage, you would earn $2000. But if you placed $200 on the same outcome without the 100x leverage, you would get just $20.
Still, if ETH were to decrease by 10 percent, you would lose $2000 instead. You can see there are real advantages and disadvantages to consider with BitMEX’s leveraged trading.
Three types of fees apply to BitMEX: trading fees, deposit fees, and withdrawal fees.
The size of your deposit fees will differ depending on the payment method you use to add money to your account. Trading fees, though, are 0.075 percent of the order’s total value for takers. Makers will receive 0.025 percent when they make trades, which means their trading fees are -0.025 percent.
Finally, withdrawal fees align with the network fees: around 0.000154 BTC for withdrawals in Bitcoin.
It’s crucial that you check all trading fees at any exchange you choose to use. But before we get to that part of this BitMEX review, we’ll clarify what the terms “taker” and “maker” mean.
All trades are conducted between two separate parties: one is the taker, the other is the maker. The taker’s role is to place an order which matches the maker’s order, while the maker’s orders create a market’s liquidity. Takers remove said liquidity by making sure their order matches the maker’s own.
This model of trading stimulates market liquidity, and provides its makers with a fee discount as a reward. Another benefit is the tighter market spread, thanks to makers’ increased incentive to keep outbidding one another.
The 0.075 percent BitMEX charges takers in trading fees is fairly standard for derivatives exchanges. But it actually pays makers for making orders, as they have a negative fee in place.
For instance, if you place a maker order with a value of $100,000 and a taker picks it up, you’d receive $25 for being responsible for the liquidity. Yes, that might not be a huge amount for an order on such a large scale, but the fact that you will be receiving payment for making orders is incredibly impressive.
However, let’s be clear: BitMEX’s focus is firmly on option trading, unlike many other cryptocurrency exchanges. Fees are split into multiple contract types: traditional futures, perpetual contracts, downside profit contracts, and upside profit contracts.
We’ve covered the BitMEX exchange’s fees in depth, but there’s still a little more to consider: withdrawal fees. This can be easy to overlook, but you need to know this before you start using BitMEX.
Let’s consider this example. You trade at a major cryptocurrency exchange with competitive trading fees, meet any personal investment targets, and want to purchase a property with Ethereum. But you have to withdraw the money first, which is where the exchange is designed to make up the money it loses in those competitive trading fees.
Here is where BitMEX differs: it only charges the network fee for users who make withdrawals. This gives it a significant competitive edge and helps it stand out.
The only deposit method the BitMEX exchange accepts is cryptocurrencies. This means if you’re new to crypto trading, you would need to purchase cryptocurrency coins from a different exchange before depositing them at BitMEX. You can’t use fiat money.
Security is crucial at BitMEX, and at any crypto exchange for that matter. It processes countless trades and stores a wealth of sensitive data related to its users.
As a result, the most cutting-edge security measures are required to safeguard users’ information. BitMEX implements the latest technologies and techniques to protect your account round the clock.
We hope this BitMEX review has given you all the information you need to know before you sign up!

]]>Binance is one of the foremost cryptocurrency exchanges. In this comprehensive Binance review, we cover all the key details to help you understand this platform when you try it for the first time.
The Binance exchange team is based in Malta (though it originally operated out of Honk Kong), and the platform has become a market leader in only a short period of time since it launched in summer 2017. Binance’s team is incredibly strong, with its CEO being one of the crypto industry’s biggest figures.
It’s unsurprising that the Binance team chose to switch to Malta instead of Hong Kong: Malta is one of a small number of European countries implementing licensing requirements for crypto exchanges (along with Gibraltar and Estonia).
It’s common for Binance to be ranked as the number-one exchange, or at least within the top three, on the basis of trading volume per day. As a result, Binance is one of the most well-respected, trusted crypto exchanges available.
For example, as the COVID-19 pandemic was bringing chaos to the world in April 2020, Binance actually reported a 24 hour trading volume of $4bn, which was the global highest.
Even more impressive, though, was that Binance’s 30 day trading volume reached almost $140bn. Again, this was the world’s highest — an incredible achievement.
The Binance brand launched its futures trading in an official capacity in September 2019.
As you may know, futures are also referred to as “option contracts”: these are designed to provide option holders with a right to purchase or sell specific assets at specific rates. Remember: this is a choice, not an obligation.
There are two option variations available. American Options offer holders the right to take advantage of this option at any time (provided it’s before the contract expires), while European Options can only be exercised across certain dates.
Binance exchange charges competitive fees for futures trading, usually below the industry’s average. The standard taker fee is 0.075 percent, while the standard maker fee is 0.025 percent.
Anyone who decides to use Binance after reading our Binance review will be able to pick one of two trading alternatives: basic or advanced.
Basic doesn’t cater to those looking for detailed technical analysis as well as the advanced version, though neither can be called “easy to use”. The trading view in the basic version is fairly streamlined and user friendly. A lot of the essential information appears in a single page for your convenience, while prices are displayed on the page’s left.
Graphs appear in the centre, along with sell and buy options, with the history displayed on the right.
How about the advanced version? Well, the charts are bigger and take up extra space. The trade history is still displayed to the right, as with the basic version, but the buy & sell boxes are in the lower-right area.
Still, there’s no right or wrong here: it’s up to you to discover which of the views works for you best.
Hundreds of cryptocurrencies are supported by Binance, and the exchange implements a dedicated quality assurance system. This is designed to make sure that projects can be delisted if they’re discovered to have failed the qualification requirements after being listed.
For example, Binance removed listings for the following cryptocurrencies in February 2019:
Binance confirmed its OTC (Over The Counter) desk in April 2020, via an email distributed to its users.
This enables users to execute trades on a larger scale without danger of “slippage”, the term applied to price fluctuations caused by such sizable transactions.
The OTC Trading portal incurs no fees for trading and fast settlement. The minimum trade size is equivalent to USDT 10,000, while 25 different tokens and coins will be available to be traded initially. Users will be required to hold a Binance.com account com which has been KYC verified at level two.
For a long while, the Binance exchange has accepted investors from the US looking to trade at its exchange. But in June 2019, the brand revealed that it was launching an American version of the platform, which will be a fiat-to-crypto centralized exchange.
This was followed a few months later by the revelation that investors based in the US were unable to use the main version of Binance. The announcement said users who were considered to not be in accordance with the brand’s Terms of Use will be able to access their funds and wallets, yet unable to execute trades or make deposits.
According to the company’s CEO, such short-term frustrations would prove worth the trouble in the long run.
Binance Lending Products can be used to lock specific assets in for a particular time frame, which will generate interest.
Binance released 14-day fixed term lending products in September 2019, which can bring in interest when users lock the assets in for two weeks only.
When you decide to start using any crypto exchange, it’s vital that you pay attention to the fees. Every trade is conducted between two entities: the maker and the taker.
The maker’s order appears on the order book ahead of the trade, while the taker places an order that aligns with the maker’s order. They’re referred to as “makers” as their orders “make” the market’s liquidity, and the others are known as “takers” because they take the liquidity by matching the makers’ orders to their own.
This model cultivates liquidity in the market, as the makers providing the liquidity tend to get a discount on fees, compared to takers. Numerous leading crypto exchanges, though, don’t impose a fee between makers and takers. These fees are considered “flat”.
Binance provides a flat 0.10 percent trading fee, and doesn’t seem to care if you’re a maker or a taker. Investors that like to pick up orders out of the order book may find this fee model appealing. This exchange’s trading fees are well below the industry’s average, which is typically approximately 0.25 percent.
Binance’s trading fees tend to be reduced based on the native token’s (BNB) trading volume and holdings.
Typically, withdrawal fees vary from one crypto exchange to another and are fixed. If you choose to withdraw Bitcoin, for example, you pay a modest BTC fee to process this withdrawal. Research shows the Bitcoin withdrawal fees are approximately 0.006 BTC per withdrawal on average.
However, Binance only charges 0.0004 BTC, which means their fees are highly competitive.
Binance previously accepted deposits in cryptocurrencies and not in fiat currencies, which meant investors new to the crypto scene were unable to conduct trades at Binance. This changed in January 2019, when the exchange started accepting deposits via credit card in specific situations.
The Binance exchange started working with Simplex, a payment service brand based in Israel. This is why users could buy Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, and Ethereum with MasterCard or Visa. This isn’t possible in countries on Sanctions lists, e.g. North Korea, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria.
Also, users based in particular areas of the United States are unable to take advantage of this: Georgia, Hawaii, Washington, Connecticut, New Mexico, and New York.
Simplex imposes a 3.5 percent charge on each trade, and if you want to purchase BTC for $10,000, Simplex would charge $350 along with a minimum fee of $10 for facilitating the purchase. On top of this, in December 2019, Binance revealed they would enable users to connect Visa cards to their accounts and buy coins this way.
As a result, users would presumably be able to avoid Simplex and its fees. At the time of writing, though, this applies to Visa cards issued across the EEA only, as well as for those in following nations:
However, in July 2020, Binance revealed that it was also permitting wire transfers, thanks to their partnership with Clear Junction. This means the Binance exchange can now accept bank transfers in EUR through SEPA, and transfers in GBP through Faster Payments.
Security is critical at all cryptocurrency exchanges, and that’s why we’re discussing it in our review. There are two primary reasons why security is so important.
First and foremost, exchanges store a huge amount of sensitive data pertaining to users. This includes names, addresses, taxpayer identification number, government identification details, and more. This information must be protected, and the best exchanges implement cutting-edge security technologies to maximize data defence.
Secondly, a lot of deposits and withdrawals in cash or coins pass through exchanges. There’s a lot at stake, and these funds must be safeguarded.
Various hacks launched at crypto exchanges have taken place. Perhaps the most well known is the Mt. Gox hack, which caused thousands of its users to lose a lot of money. However, a lot of other exchanges have experienced problems.
Binance, though, is known to implement high-quality security to protect its users details and money. You can enjoy good peace of mind that your funds are in good hands when you choose to use Binance.
