U.S. Stocks

Cryptocurrencies

trading cash-settled futures on the most popular coins. There are currently 44 cryptocurrencies available, and their number will grow. The currency used to deposit, trade and withdraw is Tether (USDT).

Trading with leverage

UTEX—Margin offers 30х leverage, meaning that every user can make deals in the amount of his deposit multiplied by 30 times. The platform provides users with additional funds while their deposit serves as security (margin).

Short positions

You can profit from the spot section of UTEX only if the price of the bought assets grows. UTEX—Margin allows you to trade against the market – with the help of short positions. Short selling lets you profit off dropping prices: you borrow stocks and cryptocurrencies from the platform with the intent to return them at a lower price. No additional fees are charged for short positions.

Risks

Margin trading allows you to make much higher profits than spot trades, however, it is much riskier. Therefore, we recommend using this service only if you possess strong trading, risk management and market analysis skills. In addition, we try to somewhat reduce the risks for users by applying the system of automatic positions closing in the event of a large loss. This prevents users from losing all of their money and running “in the red”.
