This large number of trading instruments, as well as its high leverage, makes it stand out from many similar platforms with more time in the market such as Binance or Bitmex. It is important to note that, when choosing a trading platform like this, there are many variables that we must take into account, since not only the variety or quantity of products and instruments guarantee their quality and effectiveness. Next, we will review this platform and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of trading with it.

PrimeXBT Overview

PrimeXBT has a set of trading tools and features that make it a high-level and competitive option, supported by elements such as high leverage, risk management tools, and much more.

It also features charting tools such as trend lines, support, and resistance, multiple technical analysis indicators such as the Relative Strength Index, Ichimoku Cloud, MACD, and Williams Alligator, and integrated charting software. The fact that the platform allows the opening of both long and short positions makes it possible for its users to obtain profits regardless of whether the market is high or low.

Instruments

While the central focus of the platform is Cryptocurrency trading, it also offers its users the ability to trade a varied list of traditional assets such as currencies, commodities, and stock indices. These are the instruments and trading pairs that can be traded on PrimeXBT:

This great diversity of instruments reflects a point in favor of PrimeXBT over its closest competitors such as ByBit or Binance, which despite managing multiple instruments do not have a variety of options to trade as diverse as this, despite the fact that in the section cryptocurrency exchange Binance has more pairs to trade.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The PrimeXBT platform is based on Bitcoin, so all deposits are made with this currency and can be from 0.001 BTC. This makes the deposit process much easier by only requiring you to send the funds to the platform's wallet, where with two confirmations you will already credit the amount.

Likewise, the withdrawal process is quite simple due to the use of BTC and only the address of the wallet that will receive the funds must be entered. The platform allows you to make a withdrawal per day, which is processed from 12 to 01 pm GMT and its commission is 0.0005 BTC.

Any withdrawal requested before 12 pm GMT is processed that same day. Likewise, any withdrawal request made after 12pm GMT will be processed the next day.

Since PrimeXBT uses hot wallets for immediate withdrawals, withdrawals for large amounts may take some time, as they may not have the amount in them and must withdraw from their cold wallets to complete the operation.

Commissions, Fees and Limits

The platform handles only two types of commission, per operation and overnight financing. The latter is applicable to leveraged operations that are kept open at night. Thus, if a user opens and closes a position with leverage during the day, he would only have to pay the commission per operation.

The fees for operations with Cryptocurrencies are 0.05%. Those of other instruments such as stock indices, raw materials or metals are 0.01% and those of currency markets or FOREX are 0.001%.

Privacy & Security

PrimeXBT has banking-level security protocols that guarantee the security of its users' funds. It uses Cloudflare to protect against DDoS attacks, SSL encryption that encrypts all information sent to the platform, two-factor authentication, and address whitelisting.

To store user passwords, Prime XBT claims it uses the "Bcrypt" algorithm, which prevents reading them even if a hacker had access to the exchange's servers.

The vast majority of the platform's funds are stored in cold wallets, which because they are offline represent an additional security measure. The hot wallets used by PrimeXBT are used for withdrawal operations and immediate payments, so the funds in them are limited.

On the other hand, in case of moving funds from a cold portfolio to a hot one, the authorization of several people will be needed, since they have a multi-signature access system.

Because the platform is non-KYC and does not require detailed personal information in its registration process, there is no risk of exposing the identity of users of the platform.

Covesting Module

Another of the most recent PrimeXBT innovations is its new Covesting module, a product that is the result of the partnership between the financial software company Covesting and PrimeXBT that allows copy trading.

Copy trading allows inexperienced users to connect with experienced traders as followers. Then, they can copy the strategies and operations carried out by the expert traders, creating a kind of beneficial synergy for both, since the expert trader will get a percentage of the profits from his followers.

Followers will be able to trade with any experienced trader and strategy of their choice, based on the statistics supplied daily by PrimeXBT and even get a percentage of the profits generated by the creator of the strategy.

It should be noted that even an expert trader can generate losses, so it is important to be careful and attentive to the use of risk management tools when trading.

Mobile app

For users who want to review and carry out their operations from anywhere without depending on their computer, PrimeXBT developed its mobile application for Android and IOS.

This application offers functionality very similar to that offered in its traditional version of a web browser. It allows a comfortable management of the accounts and an easy execution of the operations. However, the first and most comfortable option to operate is the web version of the platform.

Support and Customer Service

PrimeXBT has a customer service and support system that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Here, users can access multiple options such as live chat, email, and help desk.

It also has an extensive library of tutorials, video tutorials and trading guides, an innovative Telegram Bot that allows its users to get up-to-date information without having to log into their accounts.

Referral program
PrimeXBT has a four-level referral system that allows its users to obtain additional income from the commissions generated by the trading of their referrals. In addition, it has created a CPA referral program where people with high influence and followers, youtubers, influencers or webmasters can obtain even greater benefits.

Interested users have an easy-to-share reference link and allusive material to promote the process.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Among the main advantages of using PrimeXBT are:

Anonymous accounts. The simple registration process without KYC protects the privacy of users.
