Complete your first deposit


Deposit your own assets or purchase USDT, USDC, BTC and more to your Hotcoin spot account. You can choose to send cryptocurrencies to your Hotcoin spot account via on-chain transfer from another of your wallets.




Or use fiat currency to buy cryptocurrencies through C2C currency buying/credit card buying.




Transfer funds


Before officially starting trading, users need to ensure that the recharged assets have been transferred to the corresponding account. For example, funds need to be transferred to the contract account before starting contract trading. The process of transferring funds is as follows:


First log in and click "Assets", then click Transfer.





On the pop-up page, choose to transfer from the account where the funds are located to the target account, enter the transfer amount, and click Confirm.





After the fund transfer is completed, the formal transaction can be started. Hotcoin currently provides users around the world with a variety of professional transaction types such as spot trading, margin trading, contract trading, and contract follow-up.




How to spot trade?


Spot trading is a transaction between buyers and sellers of cryptocurrencies at a consistent price. Most of the cryptocurrency asset transactions we usually come into contact with use the stable currency Tether (USDT) as the pricing unit. Most trading pairs also use USDT for exchange, such as BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT. Usually we use USDT to buy BTC, or use BTC to trade into USDT. It does not involve any contract or leverage and is delivered on the spot, so it is called spot trading, that is, currency-to-crypto trading.



First enter from "Spot Trading" in the navigation bar "Trading"





Select a trading pair and place an order


Select the trading pair you are interested in, and the order type. The default order type is a limit order. If you want to buy/sell cryptocurrencies as quickly as possible, you can switch to market prices. By selecting a market order, you can place a trade immediately at the current market price.


If the market price of BTC/USDT is 27,858, but you want to buy 0.1 BTC at a specific price, such as 27,000, you can place a [limit price] order. Once the market price reaches the price you set, your order will be executed. Your Bibi account will have 0.1 BTC (excluding handling fees).




View successfully purchased assets


Click "Assets" and select "Spot Account" to view your assets.




How to trade with leverage?


In the spot trading market, investors and traders can magnify their profits through leverage. That is, borrowing a large amount of funds or cryptocurrency to invest or trade to amplify profits. By borrowing to expand your capital, you can increase your returns without having to hold a large amount of capital initially. However, leverage not only magnifies profits but also increases risks.


For the specific margin trading process, please click "User Operation Guide for Margin Trading"



How to trade futures?


After clicking the "Contract" menu, there are multiple contract trading methods in the drop-down menu: perpetual contracts and delivery contracts.




Charting is displayed using TradingView's technology, a platform, where you can track the latest events in the Economic calendar, watch live prices, and more.


You can check the difference between perpetual contracts and delivery contracts through this article:


- What are the similarities and differences between perpetual contracts and delivery contracts?



Different contract types require different margins. Taking the U-standard contract as an example, you need to have enough USDT in the contract account to open a position. Coin-based contracts require the corresponding cryptocurrency in the account, such as the BTCUSD contract, which requires BTC as a margin to open a position. For the specific operating procedures of different contracts, please refer to the following:

- Perpetual contract currency-based operation guide


- U-standard operation guide for delivery contracts



How to copy trading?


Copy trading means that in cryptocurrency trading, followers can follow multiple outstanding traders to place orders. After following the orders, their trading behavior can be automatically synchronized to achieve profits and losses. Followers will not need to manually open or close positions. By watching the market, you can directly follow the trader to automatically trade.



Copy trading has significant advantages for both traders and followers: when using copy trading, it frees up the follower’s time for other investment activities and allows you to sell money to other more experienced traders. By learning and benefiting, traders can control more capital and improve return performance.
