Since its establishment in 2014, BitMEX became one of the most beloved trading platforms online. While providing amazing stability and a lot of trading analysis tools, this platform doesn’t have any fiat currencies for deposits available. The only option is Bitcoin only. Worth mentioning that Bitcoin here is named XBT, not BTC as usual.

BitMEX trading platform has provided a really nice looking interface with some additional customizations like colors, layout, animations. As we mentioned before, users can find some great trading analysis tools starting with Stop Limit, ending with a leveraged trading and risk limits. In addition, users have an opportunity to customize their graph by selecting a time frame, indicators, bar’s style, etc. There is the instant screenshot button as well. Most noteworthy, users can move Orderbook, Chart, Recent Trades and other boxes all around the screen and make his own setup.
