Good platform, but depositing from a self-hosted wallet via electrum is way too dificult and takes way too long.

Hi, sorry to hear the deposit was a hassle — thanks for the honest feedback. Happy to support if you could share more details.

Two things that should make this much faster next time:

Use Lightning instead of on-chain BTC. Electrum supports Lightning, and on OKX just choose BTC → Lightning network on the deposit screen — deposits arrive near-instantly, vs 30–60+ min for on-chain confirmations.
If sending on-chain, pick a higher fee in Electrum (the slider at send) — low fees are the main cause of long waits. You can track confirmation progress under Assets → Deposit history on OKX.

I had a really frustrating issue with OKX initially that took me a couple months to resolve, but they did respond promptly and address my issue once I complained about it on here, so I am updating my review to reflect that. The issue was that my account had been put on hold after I had some struggles with deposits and transfers as a result of both my bank account's and OKX's security protocols, which I suppose I understand, as a new customer making several small trades in an attempt to test the waters with minimum risk could definitely be perceived as sketchy / flagged by automated security systems, I would assume. So, I do understand what happened, but it was infuriating to me nonetheless, especially since I was not able to get anywhere in terms of a resolution when attempting to deal with just the OKX customer service directly. I really had to figure out what the problem was myself and then be very vocal about it on thirty party review sites such as this in order to facilitate a solution... That said, my experience really does not speak to the function or quality of the OKX app itself from strictly a trading platform perspective. Fees not considered, I think it probably works just fine in that regard. I do not really have extensive experience with crypto trading, and I think that those who do understand it better would probably not encounter the same issues that I did. Finally, I should give OKX credit for the fact that they did come through with a pretty sweet sign-up bonus of almost $50 worth of Bitcoin. So, that was cool.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to update your review — genuinely appreciated.

You're right that this shouldn't have needed a public post to get resolved. The hold itself was our security systems doing their job on unusual first-week activity, but our support should have been able to explain and clear it for you directly — that's the part we've flagged internally.

Glad it's sorted and that the sign-up bonus landed. If anything comes up again, reach out to us and mention your previous ticket so it gets picked up with the full context.

I don't like Trading View OKX connector. No Stop orders or stop limits with stop-loss and take profit. You can set stop order but without stop-loss or take profit. When stop-limit with stop-loss and take profit executed you have buy-stop limit and sell-limit instead normal indication for stop-loss and take-profit and funnies part that you can set for your position, buy-stop and sell-limit (short and for long reverse - limit and stop) stop-loss and take-profit :). For this buy-stop and sell-limit instead normal stop and take I don't have info about PNL on chart. So I don't feel it's best integration on crypto market.

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)
Successful trading requires thorough preparation, ensuring every decision is well-informed and carefully considered. To develop a winning strategy, follow these key steps:
- Find the right asset using our screeners and heatmaps. Explore the stock market with the Stock Screener, track cryptocurrencies on the Crypto Coins Heatmap, and more tools to find in the main menu
- Analyze price movements on our Supercharts. Utilize multiple drawing tools, built-in indicators, and advanced features to gain deeper market insights
- Stay on top of market changes with the Economic Calendar and the latest news, helping you quickly adapt to shifting conditions
- Test your strategy in a risk-free environment with a Paper Trading account to see how it performs before committing real capital
- Choose a broker and start your trading journey with confidence once you have a clear strategy in place
A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.
Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
