We recommend using your email with a unique password combination that you are not using for other services. Moreso, we highly recommend enabling 2FA (2-factor authentication). You can enable these features from the dashboard on your account.

When you enable 2FA on your account, you will receive a backup code - remember to store it safely. You can use this code to restore 2FA time codes for your account.

Geco.one provides five types of orders - Quick Transaction, Market, Limit, Stop & OCO.

You can hold either Long or Short positions on Geco.one.

Short-selling is selling when you think the price is high with the idea to re-buy lower. This strategy capitalizes on anticipated market decline.

Long-selling is buying at a price you believe to be low, with the intention of re-selling high. This strategy capitalizes on the anticipated market rise.

The highest possible leverage is provided automatically when you open a position, and you control it by choosing your position size. For example, let's say you have 0.1 BTC as equity in your trading account, and you wish to trade BTC/USD. You can open a maximum position of 10 BTC. It will result in maximum margin utilization at 100x leverage, and 0% of Available Margin will remain. 

However, you don't have to open such a large position. Opening a 0.5 BTC position, on the other hand, would only use 5x leverage against your equity of 0.1BTC - leaving you with plenty of available margin.  This would also lower the risk of your position being liquidated should the market move against you.

Position size is, therefore, the key to managing your risk, and you are in full control of it.

Please note that we do not recommend utilizing 100% of your Available Margin as this creates a significant risk of liquidation with even the smallest price move against you.

Check out the leverage tutorial here.

The Bid-Ask SPREAD - also known as Price SPREAD, is the difference between the Bid and the Ask price of any given asset. When you are buying an asset, you will get the Ask price; you will get the Bid price when selling. The Ask price is usually a little higher than the Bid price, and the difference between these two amounts is known as "the SPREAD". Chart candles on Geco.one show the Bid price of the asset in question.

When a market order is placed, slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual price the order was executed at. Slippage most commonly occurs when markets experience high volatility or when liquidity in order books is too thin to execute trades at the trigger price (Bid/Ask), thus creating a gap in the requested and executed price.

Your positions can remain open indefinitely, as long as your available margin does not drop to 0%. Please note, however, that a SWAP fee of 0.01% is charged every 8h.

There are many reasons orders can be rejected. The most common reasons are not having enough Available Margin in your account and/or markets for the selected instrument being closed. The Geco.one 'Messages' widget contains all system messages with a detailed explanation of why an order was rejected.

Of course! You are able to add Stop Loss and Take Profit protective orders to any Limit, Market, or Stop order as well as Quick Transaction & OCO. We've made a handy video on placing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders for you to check out here. 

Geco.one charts reflect top-of-the-book BID quotes received from our liquidity providers (not FILL prices). Therefore, please keep in mind 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 (See 'What is the Geco.one Price Spread?). Top-of-the-book ASK quotes are indicated in green 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 did indeed reach the price specified in your order.

As above, however, in this case, if your TP/Limit buy order was NOT executed, this would mean that the ASK price of the asset did NOT reach the price specified in your order.

Stop Loss protection orders are delayed orders executed when the ASK/BID price of an asset reaches your Stop Loss order trigger price. Stop Loss orders are executed as Market orders once the trigger price is met. It is filled, taking into account the SPREAD for your chosen order size.​

Liquidation means that your currently open positions will be closed at the market price if margin requirements are not maintained. First, you receive Magin Call when your margin reaches 25%. Suppose you don't secure your position by adding funds. In that case, liquidation will occur if the Available Margin reaches 10%, as your account's Available Margin will not be able to cover any continuing losses.

You can increase your Available Margin any time by closing open positions or transferring additional funds into your trading account.

At Geco.one we employ a Cross-margin system. We feel this offers our traders more flexibility and gives them the ability to adapt quickly to market moves.

No, Unrealized P/L does not include any fees incurred from trades.

Trade Fees are as follows:

• 0.03% for all crypto/USD
• 0.024% for all crypto/USD discounted by a Elite Membership purchased only with a native token - Gecoin (GEC)
  

SWAP is the same for all instruments and is charged at a rate of 0.01% every 8h.

You can find detailed information regarding Fees and Overnight Financing rates for all available instruments on the Fees and Conditions page.

A Trading day is a 24-hour period that begins at 00:00 UTC and ends at 23:59:59 UTC. The use of a trading day allows us to determine when a DAY order should be cancelled (if it is not filled) and when Overnight Financing should be charged.

The SELL price is the price on the chart, which is the market price of the asset that is visible on the chart. On the other hand, the BUY price is the market price increased by the SPREAD, which for the BTC/USD pair is 65 Pts. This means that the BUY price is slightly higher than the actual market value, and this difference is the SPREAD.

When opening a BUY position, you need to take into account the value of the SPREAD, which should be added to the chart price to obtain the actual purchase price. However, when closing an open BUY position, the closing price is equal to the market value.

In the case of opening a SELL position, the price is equal to the market value without an additional cost of the SPREAD. However, when closing an open SELL position, the SPREAD is added to the price.

GEC is a utility token for the Geco.one cryptocurrency derivatives exchange.

The exchange offers access to the top cryptocurrency pairs. You can trade the most popular Crypto/USD pairs using BTC, ETH, GEC & USDT as collateral with all the professional tools you need for the best trading experience. 

Gecoin is built on the Ethereum network - the most popular ERC-20 standard in the cryptocurrency world.

GEC token has deflationary tokenomics (token economy) designed to stimulate the growth of the GEC token’s value over time. 

Each quarter, we add up all the GEC tokens used on the platform and the tokens bought from external exchanges (where GEC token is listed) by Geco.one, and permanently burn them. This reduces the number of available GEC tokens on the market.

The total amount of tokens created is 173 105 106 GEC. The first burning took place on December 28, 2021. we add up all the GEC tokens used on the platform and the tokens bought from external exchanges (where GEC token is listed) by Geco.one. For GEC, the goal of coin-burning events is to gradually reduce its total supply until it’s under 21 million GEC ( around 12.12% of the total initial supply of 173105106 GEC).

Each burn event is publicly accessible and you can see them here:

You can also view a Smart Contract here.

The first and primary use of the GEC token is, of course, active trading, just like with any other available cryptocurrency on our platform. Through active participation, you can increase the value of your wallet.

The second option for using GEC is to obtain an elite membership. This gives you access to staking BTC, ETH, GEC, and USDT. By acting passively, you can earn up to 8% over a 360-day period. The second added value is a 20% reduction in transaction fees. You can find here more information regarding staking and elite membership.
