We respect your privacy while trading digital currencies which is why we do not require our clients to undergo KYC procedures, exposing personal information. This leaves your email as your primary form of ID. Losing access to your email may result in you being unable to access your PrimeXBT account. We strongly recommend enabling 2FA on your email account.
We recommend using a unique Email+Password combination that you are not using for other services. Also, we highly recommend enabling 2FA (2-factor authentication) and login notifications. These features can be enabled in your account Settings.
As your email is the only form of ID at PrimeXBT, it is not possible to change account email.
Email login notifications can be disabled from your account Settings menu.
You can reset your account password using the Password recovery feature.
When enabling 2FA on your account, you will receive a 16-digit backup code. This code can be used to restore 2FA time codes for your account. Simply add a new time-code generator in your 2FA app and enter the 16-digit backup code.
All logins to your account are reflected in your Settings menu, under 'Last logins'.
This means that someone may have obtained your account's credentials. This could happen if you shared your account credentials with someone else, or if your password had become compromised. In most cases, passwords are retrieved by hackers from earlier leaked password databases from different services.
To protect your account, please change your password at this link: https://primexbt.com/id/password-recovery and enable 2FA. Also, do not use the same password for your email as for other services, as this could compromise your account should someone get ahold of your credentials.

Leverage reflects the ratio of personal funds required to open and maintain a position in comparison to the size of that position. For example, 1:100 leverage means that, if using $1,000 of your personal funds, you will be able to trade with up to $100,000. Similarly, a position of $100 would require only $1 of your personal funds.
The highest possible leverage is provided automatically upon opening a position, and you control it by choosing the position size.
For example: you have 0.1 BTC as Trading account's Equity and you wish to trade BTC/USD. You can open max position of 10 BTC. This will result in maximum margin utilization at 1:100 leverage and 0% of Available Margin will remain. But you are not required to open such a large position. You can, for example, open a 0.5 BTC position instead. In this case you will be using only 5x leverage against your 0.1 BTC Equity, with more Available Margin left and less risk of position liquidation should the market move unfavorably. Similarly, if you opened a 2.5 BTC position it would amount to 25x leverage against your Equity, and so on.
So you have full control of your leverage and risk by controlling position sizes in your portfolio.
Please note that we do not recommend to utilize 100% of Available margin as this creates a significant risk of even the smallest negative P/L resulting in liquidation of the position.
Price Spread (or Bid-Ask spread) is the difference between the Bid and the Ask price of an asset. When buying, you will get the Ask price; when selling, you will get the Bid price. Ask price is generally higher than the Bid price, and the difference between these 2 factors is the Spread. Chart candles on PrimeXBT reflect the Bid price of an asset.
Slippage is the difference between the expected price, and the actual execution price of a market order. As with any market order, Slippage may occur during times of high volatility, when liquidity in order books is insufficient to execute trades at the trigger price (Bid/Ask), resulting in a price gap.
Positions do not have a time limit and can remain open indefinitely, as long as available margin does not drop to 0%. Note that an overnight financing fee is charged at 00:00 UTC if a position is carried into a new trading day.
Orders can be rejected for numerous reasons, such as available margin being insufficient or markets for the selected instrument being closed, etc. The ‘Messages’ widget contains all system messages with a detailed explanation of why an order was rejected.
Yes. Stop Loss and Take Profit protective orders can be added to a Limit, Market or Stop order as well as any open position. Make sure to check out our Stop Loss and Take Profit video tutorial.
PrimeXBT charts reflect top-of-the-book BID quotes received from our liquidity providers (not FILL prices). It is important to remember that Stop Loss/Stop Buy orders are triggered when top-of-the-book ASK quotes reach the price specified in your Stop Loss/Stop Buy order. ASK quotes are higher than BID quotes by the amount of the Spread. Top-of-the-book ASK quotes are reflected as a green indicator on the price range field of the chart. In this case, if your SL/Stop Buy order was executed, this means that the ASK price of the asset has reached the price specified in your order.
PrimeXBT charts reflect top-of-the-book BID quotes received from our liquidity providers (not FILL prices). It is important to remember that Take Profit/Limit Buy orders are triggered when top-of-the-book ASK quotes reach the price specified in your TP/Limit Buy order. ASK quotes are higher than BID quotes by the amount of the Spread. Top-of-the-book ASK quotes are reflected as a green indicator on the price range field of the chart. In this case, if your TP/Limit buy order was NOT executed, this means that the ASK price of the asset has NOT reached the price specified in your order.
Stop Loss protection orders are delayed orders that are triggered when the ASK/BID price of an asset reaches the price specified in your Stop Loss order. Once your Stop Loss is triggered, it becomes a Market order and is filled as such, taking into account the Spread for a given order size. The current Spread for a particular order size can be checked at any time using the 'Dashboard' widget.
Liquidation is the automatic closing of all currently open positions at market price, if margin requirements are not maintained. Liquidation may occur if available margin reaches 0%, as available margin is no longer sufficient to sustain further losses.
Available margin can be increased at any time by closing any position and/or transferring more funds to your Trading account.
At PrimeXBT we employ a Cross-margin system. This system offers more flexibility when trading and provides traders with more opportunities to adapt to different market trends and movements.
