Trading Rules

By using the NovaTrace trading platform, you agree to abide by the following trading rules and acknowledge the inherent risks associated with cryptocurrency trading:

Order Execution: NovaTrace employs a matching engine that processes orders on a first-come, first-served basis. We strive to execute all valid orders promptly, but we do not guarantee that every order will be filled. Market conditions, liquidity, and system limitations may affect order execution. Once an order is matched and executed, it is final and irrevocable.

Order Types: NovaTrace supports various order types including market orders, limit orders, stop-limit orders, and other advanced order types as specified on the platform. You are responsible for understanding the mechanics and risks associated with each order type before placing trades.

Trading Pairs: NovaTrace lists cryptocurrency trading pairs at its sole discretion. We reserve the right to add, remove, or suspend any trading pair at any time, with or without prior notice, based on market conditions, regulatory requirements, or other factors we deem relevant.

Market Integrity: You agree not to engage in any trading activity that may be considered market manipulation, including but not limited to wash trading, spoofing, layering, pump-and-dump schemes, or any other form of artificial price manipulation. NovaTrace employs surveillance systems to detect and prevent such activities.

Trading Limits: NovaTrace may impose trading limits based on your account verification level, trading history, and other risk factors. These limits may include daily trading volume caps, maximum order sizes, and withdrawal limits. Limits are subject to change at NovaTrace's discretion.

  • Market Manipulation: Engaging in wash trading, spoofing, layering, pump-and-dump schemes, front-running, or any other form of market manipulation or deceptive trading practices.

Fees & Charges

NovaTrace charges fees for certain Services as outlined on our Fee Schedule page. By using our Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees and charges.

Trading Fees: NovaTrace utilizes a tiered maker-taker fee structure based on your 30-day trading volume and CRX token holdings. Maker orders (orders that add liquidity to the order book) receive lower fees than taker orders (orders that remove liquidity). Detailed fee tiers are published on our Fee Schedule page and are subject to change with prior notice.

Deposit & Withdrawal Fees: Cryptocurrency deposits are generally free. Withdrawal fees vary by asset and are designed to cover blockchain network transaction fees. Fiat currency deposits and withdrawals may incur fees depending on the payment method and currency. All applicable fees are displayed before you confirm a transaction.

Other Fees: Additional fees may apply for premium services such as margin trading, futures contracts, OTC trading, and API access beyond standard rate limits. These fees are specified in the documentation for each service.

Fee Changes: NovaTrace reserves the right to modify its fee structure at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of fee changes through the platform, email, or other communication channels. Continued use of the Services after fee changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new fees.

Taxes: You are solely responsible for determining and paying all taxes applicable to your use of the Services, including but not limited to capital gains taxes, income taxes, and value-added taxes. NovaTrace does not provide tax advice and recommends consulting with a qualified tax professional.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Cryptocurrency Deposits: When depositing cryptocurrency, you must ensure that you send the correct asset to the corresponding deposit address. Deposits sent to incorrect addresses or on unsupported networks may result in permanent loss of funds for which NovaTrace assumes no responsibility.

Fiat Deposits: Fiat currency deposits must originate from a bank account or payment method registered in your name. Third-party deposits are not accepted and may be returned at your expense.

Withdrawals: Withdrawal requests are processed according to our standard processing times, which vary by asset and method. NovaTrace may impose withdrawal limits based on your verification level and may require additional verification for large withdrawal requests. We reserve the right to delay or reject withdrawals if we suspect fraudulent or unauthorized activity.

Minimum Amounts: Minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts apply for each asset and are specified on the platform. Deposits below the minimum threshold may not be credited to your account.
