Margin Requirements for Covesting Strategy Accounts to be updated on October 22nd, 2021
We have always strived to provide the best possible copy-trading experience to all our users and continue to do so. Since launch, the platform has improved drastically in many ways, including product usability, innovative features, transparency and risk management.
Successful Strategy Managers have proven how the Covesting copy-trading concept can be mutually beneficial to both experienced traders and their followers.
Nevertheless, there is always room for improvement. We received numerous requests from our users to provide additional protection from strategies that may not implement adequate risk management and expose their followers to excessive market risks by over-using provided leverage.
Following the feedback, we are revising margin requirements for several trading pairs on Covesting strategy accounts. Such adjustments follow best industry practices and create an even more secure and disciplined copy-trading environment for all platform users.
Additionally, we will be adjusting Manager’s Equity requirements for Strategy Grades 2, 3, and 4 to bring the ratio of Initial Followers Equity (IFE) to Managers Equity of all Grades in the range 1 to 7 to a uniform value 20:1.
The new requirements will come into effect on Friday, October 22nd, 2021 at 12:00 UTC
For the updated margin requirements for Covesting Strategy accounts and Manager's Equity requirements please refer to the tables below.
Please note that if you have open positions when the new requirements take effect and the margin becomes insufficient according to them, the positions may be liquidated
Take this into account and ensure your Covesting Strategy account has sufficient margin when the new requirements take effect: deposit more funds to the account or reduce market exposure by partially closing positions to avoid position liquidation due to insufficient margin.

Conditions Update for Bonus (Promo) Rewards 
As of October 18th, 2021, the conditions of new and existing promo bonuses for margin trading accounts have been updated:
1.  The total amount of Bonus on an account cannot exceed: 0.035 BTC, 0.875 ETH, 1,750 USDT, 1,750 USDC
If you have accumulated reward on a margin account that already exceeds the aforementioned amount, the accumulated reward amount will be retained until a withdrawal from the account or the promocode expiration.
The reward amount on subsequent deposits to the account after a withdrawal will be capped at the new limits mentioned above.
2. All new activations of promocodes will provide bonuses or discounts valid for 14 days
Expiration dates of already activated bonuses will remain unchanged.

Please take these changes into account and ensure a sufficient margin level on your account to avoid position liquidation.
For detailed information about promocodes, please read this Help Center article.
PrimeXBT has discontinued support of the Turbo module on the platform
As of July 7th, 2021 PrimeXBT has discontinued support of the Turbo feature on the platform.
As of August 6th, 2021 PrimeXBT has stopped providing quotes for Turbo predictions and accepting Turbo predictions from the existing users of the Turbo module.
The remaining real Turbo accounts were completely closed on August 22nd, 2021. The funds remaining on real Turbo accounts, if any, have been returned to the platform’s Wallets of the clients.
For further questions about your Turbo account, please contact our Customer support.
Conditions Update on July 26th, 2021 Has Been Postponed
The Bitcoin price demonstrated impressive market action and increased significantly in the course of the last week. 
Due to this, we are postponing the conditions update that was planned for July 26th, 2021 as a measure to address the recent depreciation of cryptocurrencies and its effect on trading conditions on multi-currency accounts.
We continue watching the market, and will inform additionally when the planned conditions update may take effect.
Conditions Update on July 26th, 2021 Due To Cryptocurrencies Price Changes
Crypto markets are dynamic, and we have seen significant depreciation as well as appreciation of cryptocurrencies many times in the past. This provides various opportunities for traders to earn. However, it may also lead to the appearance of a significant difference in conditions between stablecoin and crypto accounts over time.
To address this, we will be updating the service conditions to make them aligned across crypto and stablecoin accounts following Bitcoin and Ethereum price changes over the past weeks.
❗The following conditions will be changed on Monday, July 26th, 2021:
Welcome bonus for BTC margin trading
The minimum BTC deposit requirement to receive the Welcome bonus will be reduced to 0.024 BTC, which will grant a 0.01 BTC tradeable reward.
Read more about the Welcome bonus.
Tradeable bonus reward limits
Maximum trading bonus reward amounts for ‘% of deposit’ bonuses will be set to:
BTC: 1 (will not change)
ETH: 17.5 (to be reduced from 25)
USDT: 35,000 (to be reduced from 50,000)
USDC: 35,000 (to be reduced from 50,000)
If the reward on your margin trading account exceeds the new limit, the reward amount will be retained. However, new deposits to the margin account will not increase the reward. Withdrawing funds from the trading account will clear the reward, and the reward amount for consequent deposits will be capped at the new limit after the conditions update.
Read more about promocodes.
Margin Account status level (turnover-based trade fee discounts)
Turnover volumes required to achieve Golden and Diamond status and receive respective discounts on trade fees will be adjusted for ETH, USDT, and USDC margin trading accounts. See the table below for the new account statuses after July 26th, 2021.
Required turnover

If you have already achieved the 30-day turnover required for the Golden or Diamond status according to the new status levels, your margin account status will be updated automatically.
Currency Exchange Limits
One-time and daily exchange limits for BTC and ETH will be extended. See the Currency Exchange limit table after July 26th, 2021 for details.
Covesting Conditions
To align the conditions for the managers and followers in BTC and other base currencies, they will be updated for ETH, USDT, and USDC-based Strategies and Followings.
🏁 Minimum Manager's Equity to Start a Strategy:
The minimum Manager's Equity to start a Strategy at the Default (0) Grade will be reduced for ETH, USDT, and USDC based strategies to align them with the conditions for BTC Strategies.
The new requirement to start a Strategy will be: 0.01 BTC / 0.175 ETH / 350 USDT / 350 USDC.
If you manage a Default (0) Grade Strategy, the restriction on the Manager's Equity withdrawals will be reduced to 0.175 ETH / 350 USDT / 350 USDC from 0.25 ETH / 500 USDT / 500 USDC upon the conditions update.
​
🏆 Strategy Grades:

PrimeXBT Platform Update on June 17th, 2021
We are happy to announce another great update that is aimed at making PrimeXBT even more convenient and transparent for our users.
💱 Exchange Currencies Directly in Your PrimeXBT Wallet
We’re introducing a cryptocurrency exchange service - now you can convert your wallet balance between BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC with just a few clicks.
The in-wallet conversion service will help you to save on transfer fees and time, which would otherwise be spent on withdrawing funds to an external service for exchange. Also, this allows you to gain instant access to multi-currency Covesting Strategies as a Follower, open your own Strategy or trade on a private margin Trading account using a collateral currency that is most convenient for you.
​Convert cryptocurrencies in-wallet.
👛 Enhanced and Detailed Wallet History 
The Wallet transaction history report has been greatly improved, now providing even more Trading history info and Transfer history info with additional filtering options.
Sort, filter, and view operations that you’re interested in - for example, only referral payouts or manager’s success fee commissions - or view your entire wallet transfer history with detailed comments for each transfer/transaction
View transfers in your Account.
Covesting Update on June 11th, 2021
With this update, we reduce the entry barrier for opening Covesting Strategies and introduce All-time charts:
🚧 ⬇️ Reducing the Barrier for Opening a Strategy
If you had ever considered opening your own Covesting Strategy, but hesitated to commit the minimum required capital of $2,500 just to try it out — hesitate no longer! We are introducing a new initial (default) Strategy grade.
From now on, starting a new Strategy will require Managers to lock only $500 of Manager’s equity at the initial Grade — this is 5 times less than the previous minimum requirement!
This new initial Grade will also cap the Initial Followers’ Equity at a lower amount of $10,000 to keep the reasonable risk management approach towards newly created strategies.
This update aims to reduce the entry barrier for Covesting managers, and lets them try their trading Strategies publicly without risking significant amounts of personal and Followers capital, and build their track record before committing more funds to upgrading the Strategy and increasing the Followers’ cap.
Check the newly available Strategy grade.
📊 Introducing All-time Strategy charts
As the Covesting module on PrimeXBT continues to gain more popularity, we are going to see an increasing number of established Strategies which have been open for more than a year.
All-time Strategy performance charts have just been released as an update to the Covesting module, in addition to 24 hours, 30 days, and Year-to-Date views.
​Find your favourite Strategies and check their all-time performance with the updated charts!
Covesting Conditions Update on April 20th, 2021
At PrimeXBT we always listen to your feedback and strive to deliver what you ask for in the way most convenient for you, and provide new opportunities to earn with the platform while keeping the safety of your funds in mind.
Following up on the most frequent requests, we are tuning up the Covesting conditions for an improved experience.
🏆 Automatic upgrade of Strategies to Grades 1, 2 and 3
From now on, if a Strategy has sufficient Manager’s Equity for an upgrade to Grades 1, 2 or 3, the Strategy will be upgraded automatically, with its Followers’ Equity cap being increased accordingly.
Both Managers and Followers will benefit from this improvement:
Managers will not need to request and wait for a manual upgrade of their Strategy before allowing more Followers to join.
Followers will enjoy an extended Followers’ Equity cap of their favourite Strategies. Other successful Strategies will also be available to them to diversify the portfolio, reduce risks and maximise earning opportunities with copy-trading.
Learn more about automatic Strategy upgrades.
⚖️ New Fine-tuned Grades
We’re making it easier for a Manager to upgrade past Grade 1 by closing the gap and lowering the required Manager’s Equity for Grade 2. A Strategy may be upgraded and open to additional Followings as soon as the Manager’s Equity reaches 0.3 BTC / 7.5 ETH / 15,000 USDT / 15,000 USDC.
Check the newly available Strategy grades.
⬇️ Reduced Progressive Trade Fees
Larger Followers’ Equity used to mean higher costs for a Manager because of the progressive trade fees.
Now your choice between lower fees or higher Followers’ Equity is a no-brainer: progressive trade fees have been reduced significantly.
Lower fees mean higher profits for Managers as well as their Followers. If you manage a Strategy, make sure to check it out.
We hope you enjoy your Covesting experience. Stay tuned for more new features and exciting updates ahead!
Covesting Module Updates on February 18th, 2021
Based on the feedback we received from Covesting users and community, and in order to improve clients' experience while keeping in mind risk management considerations, we are introducing the following adjustments to the Covesting module:
1. Increased Initial Followers’ Equity Cap
Due to the influx of new users and growing popularity of the Covesting module, we are increasing Initial Followers’ Equity caps across all Strategy grades above Grade 1: a change that is beneficial both for Managers and Followers.
Please, read this Help article to learn about new Initial Followers’ Equity caps. 
 2. Progressive Trade Fees
In order to enable higher Followers’ Equity caps and reflect the price slippage resulting from execution of large orders at our liquidity-providing counter-parties, progressive trade fees have been introduced for Covesting Strategy accounts.
For detailed information about progressive trade fees on Covesting, please refer to this Help article.
 3. Individual Limits on a Strategy Followings
The Individual Limit is intended to reduce exposure of Covesting users to specific Strategies, thus minimizing overall risks by diversifying their Portfolio. At the same time, it opens an opportunity for more Followers to join successful Strategies and benefit from their performance, by preventing such Strategies from being completely occupied by a few large Followers leaving no room for other Covesting users to join.
Please read this Help article to learn more about individual limit on followings.
 4. Restriction on Margin Withdrawing
A Manager may withdraw extra Equity from their Strategy account and use it at their discretion. However, if there were open positions in the Strategy, such a withdrawal would decrease available margin and increase positions’ leverage. To protect Followers from the risks of leverage increasing in the absence of a Manager's trading activity, all positions must be closed before withdrawing Equity.
To learn more about withdrawing of funds from a Strategy and the restrictions, please read this Help article.
We thank you for your interest in PrimeXBT Covesting module. We hope that the changes that we introduced will make it even more attractive to both Followers and Managers alike.
