Your Balance Types
Cash Balance
Real funded money you’ve deposited into your account. You can use your cash balance to trade, pay fees, and withdraw at any time.
Promo Balance
Bonus or promotional credits awarded to your account. You can use promo balance as stake in trades, but it cannot be used to pay fees and cannot be withdrawn directly.
Locked Balance
Funds currently held for your pending or open limit orders. Locked funds are not available to trade or withdraw until the order fills or you cancel it.
Tradable Balance
The total of your cash and promo balances that is available right now for new trades. This excludes any funds that are currently locked in open orders.
Withdrawable Balance
The portion of your balance that you can send out of your account. Only your cash balance qualifies — promo balance is never withdrawable.
What You Can Do With Each Balance
The table below summarises the actions available for each balance type at a glance.Locked Funds
When you place a limit order, the funds required to fill that order are moved into your locked balance. This prevents those funds from being double-spent while your order sits on the order book. Your locked funds are released in two situations:- The order fills — your locked funds are used to complete the trade.
- You cancel the order — the locked amount is returned to your cash or promo balance immediately.
