• Make sure there is a strong network signal on your mobile device.

Common Errors During the KYC Process

• Taking unclear, blurry, or incomplete photos may result in unsuccessful KYC verification. When performing face recognition, please remove your hat (if applicable) and face the camera directly.
• KYC process is connected to a third-party public security database, and the system conducts automatic verification, which cannot be manually overridden.

• If camera permissions are not granted for the app, you will be unable to take photos of your identity document or perform facial recognition.

Deposit

What is a tag or meme, and why do I need to enter it when depositing crypto?

A tag or memo is a unique identifier assigned to each account for identifying a deposit and crediting the appropriate account. When depositing certain crypto, such as BNB, XEM, XLM, XRP, KAVA, ATOM, BAND, EOS, etc., you need to enter the respective tag or memo for it to be successfully credited.

How to check my transaction history?

1. Log in to your HTX account and click on [Assets] and select [History].



2. You can check the status of your deposit or withdrawal here.

Reasons for Uncredited Deposits

1. Insufficient number of block confirmations for a normal deposit

Under normal circumstances, each crypto requires a certain number of block confirmations before the transfer amount can be deposited into your HTX account. To check the required number of block confirmations, please go to the deposit page of the corresponding crypto.

2. Making a deposit of an unlisted crypto

Please ensure that the cryptocurrency you intend to deposit on the HTX platform matches the supported cryptocurrencies. Verify the full name of the crypto or its contract address to prevent any discrepancies. If inconsistencies are detected, the deposit may not be credited to your account. In such cases, submit a Wrong Deposit Recovery Application for assistance from the technical team in processing the return.

3. Depositing through an unsupported smart contract method

At present, some cryptocurrencies cannot be deposited on the HTX platform using the smart contract method. Deposits made through smart contracts will not reflect in your HTX account. As certain smart contract transfers necessitate manual processing, please promptly reach out to online customer service to submit your request for assistance.

4. Depositing to an incorrect crypto address or selecting the wrong deposit network

Ensure that you have accurately entered the deposit address and selected the correct deposit network before initiating the deposit. Failure to do so may result in the assets not being credited.

Trading

What is a Market Order?

A Market Order is an order type that is executed at the current market price. When you place a market order, you are essentially requesting to buy or sell a security or asset at the best available price in the market. The order is filled immediately at the prevailing market price, ensuring quick execution.
Description
 
If the market price is $100, a buy or sell order is filled at around $100. The amount and price that your order is filled at depend on the actual transaction.

What is a Limit Order?

A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specified limit price, and it is not executed immediately like a market order. Instead, the limit order is activated only if the market price reaches or exceeds the designated limit price favorably. This allows traders to target specific buying or selling prices different from the current market rate.

Limit Order illustration

When the Current Price (A) drops to the order’s Limit Price (C) or below the order will execute automatically. The order will be filled immediately if the buying price is above or equal to the current price. Therefore, the buying price of limit orders must be below the current price.

Buy Limit Order

Sell Limit Order

What is a Trigger Order?

A trigger order, alternatively termed a conditional or stop order, is a specific order type enacted only when predefined conditions or a designated trigger price are satisfied. This order allows you to establish a trigger price, and upon its attainment, the order becomes active and is dispatched to the market for execution. Subsequently, the order is transformed into either a market or limit order, carrying out the trade in accordance with the specified instructions.

For instance, you might configure a trigger order to sell a cryptocurrency like BTC if its price descends to a particular threshold. Once the BTC price hits or drops below the trigger price, the order is triggered, transforming into an active market or limit order to sell the BTC at the most favorable available price. Trigger orders serve the purpose of automating trade executions and mitigating risk by defining predetermined conditions for entering or exiting a position.
Description

In a scenario where the market price is $100, a trigger order set with a trigger price of $110 is activated when the market price ascends to $110, subsequently becoming a corresponding market or limit order.

What is Advanced Limit Order

For limit order, there are 3 execution policies: "Maker-only (Post only)", "Fill all or cancel all (Fill or Kill)", "Fill immediately and cancel the remaining (Immediate or Cancel)"; When an execution policy is not selected, by default, a limit order will be "always valid”.

Maker-only (Post only) order will not be filled in the market immediately. If such an order is immediately filled by an existing order, such order will be cancelled to ensure that the user will always be a Maker.

An IOC order, if fails to be filled immediately in the market, the unfilled part will be cancelled immediately.

A FOK order, if fails to be fully filled, will be fully cancelled immediately.

What is Trailing Order

Trailing order refers to the strategy of sending a pre-set order into the market in the event of a large market correction. When the contract market price meets the trigger conditions and the correction ratio set by the user, such strategy will be triggered to place a limit order at the price set by the user (Optimal N price, Formula price). The main scenarios are to buy when the price hits a support level and bounces back or to sell when the price hits a resistance level and falls.

Trigger price: one of the conditions determining the trigger of the strategy. If to buy, the precondition must be: the trigger price the latest price.

Correction ratio: one of the conditions determining the trigger of the strategy. The correction ratio must be larger than 0% and no higher than 5%. The precision is to 1 decimal place of a percentage, e.g. 1.1%.

Order size: the size of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Order type (Optimal N prices, Formula price): the quotation type of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Order direction: the buy or sell direction of a limit order after the strategy is triggered.

Formula price: the price of a limit order placed in the market by multiplying the lowest price in the market with (1 + correction ratio) or the highest price in the market with (1 - correction ratio) after the trailing order is successfully triggered.

Lowest (highest) price: The lowest (highest) price in the market after the strategy is set for the user until the strategy is triggered.

Triggering conditions:

Buy orders must meet the conditions: the triggering price ≥ the minimum price, and the minimum price * (1 + correction ratio) ≤ the latest market price

Sell orders must meet the conditions: the validation price ≤ the highest price, and the highest price * (1- correction ratio)≥ the latest market price

Withdrawal

Why hasn’t my withdrawal arrived?

Transferring funds involves the following steps:

• Withdrawal transaction initiated by HTX.
• Confirmation of the blockchain network.
• Depositing on the corresponding platform.

Normally, a TxID (transaction ID) will be generated within 30–60 minutes, indicating that our platform has successfully completed the withdrawal operation and that the transactions are pending on the blockchain.

However, it might still take some time for a particular transaction to be confirmed by the blockchain and, later, by the corresponding platform.

Due to possible network congestion, there might be a significant delay in processing your transaction. You may use the transaction ID (TxID) to look up the status of the transfer with a blockchain explorer.

• If the blockchain explorer shows that the transaction is unconfirmed, please wait for the process to be completed.
• If the blockchain explorer shows that the transaction is already confirmed, it means that your funds have been sent out successfully from HTX, and we are unable to provide any further assistance on this matter. You will need to contact the owner or support team of the target address and seek further assistance.

Important Guidelines for Cryptocurrency Withdrawals on HTX Platform

1. For crypto that support multiple chains such as USDT, please make sure to choose the corresponding network when making withdrawal requests.
2. If the withdrawal crypto requires a MEMO, please make sure to copy the correct MEMO from the receiving platform and enter it accurately. Otherwise, the assets may be lost after the withdrawal.
3. After entering the address, if the page indicates that the address is invalid, please check the address or contact our online customer service for further assistance.
4. Withdrawal fees vary for each crypto and can be viewed after selecting the crypto on the withdrawal page.
5. You can see the minimum withdrawal amount and withdrawal fees for the corresponding crypto on the withdrawal page.

How do I check the transaction status on the blockchain?

1. Log in to your Gate.io, click on [Assets], and select [History].

2. Here, you can view your transaction status.

Is There A Minimum Withdrawal Limit Required For Each Crypto?
