1. Log in to your MEXC, click and select [Spot].

2. In the trading zone, pick your trading pair. MEXC currently offers support for popular trading pairs like BTC/USDT, BTC/USDC, BTC/TUSD, and more.

3. Consider making a purchase with the BTC/USDT trading pair. You have three order types to choose from: Limit , Market , Stop-limit, each with distinct characteristics.

Limit Price Purchase:

Specify your desired buying price and quantity, then click [Buy BTC]. Keep in mind that the minimum order amount is 5 USDT. If your set buying price significantly differs from the market price, the order may not be filled immediately and will be visible in the "Open Orders" section below.

Market Price Purchase:

Input your desired buying volume or filled amount, then click [Buy BTC]. The system will swiftly execute the order at the current market price, facilitating your Bitcoin purchase. Keep in mind that the minimum order amount is 5 USDT.

Stop-limit Order:

With stop-limit orders, you can pre-set trigger prices, buying amounts, and quantities. When the market price reaches the trigger price, the system will automatically place a limit order at the specified price.

Let’s consider the BTC/USDT pair. Suppose the current market price of BTC is 27,250 USDT, and based on technical analysis, you anticipate a breakthrough at 28,000 USDT initiating an upward trend. In this case, you can use a stop-limit order with a trigger price set at 28,000 USDT and a buying price set at 28,100 USDT. Once BTC reaches 28,000 USDT, the system will promptly place a limit order to buy at 28,100 USDT. The order may be filled at 28,100 USDT or a lower price. Note that 28,100 USDT is a limit price, and rapid market fluctuations might affect order execution.

Solution: Open your mobile security software and temporarily disable blocking, then try to obtain the verification code again.

Reason 3: Problems with your mobile service provider, i.e. SMS gateway congestion or other abnormalities.

Solution: When your mobile provider’s SMS gateway is congested or experiencing abnormalities, it can cause delays or loss of sent messages. Contact your mobile service provider to verify the situation or try again later to obtain the verification code.

Reason 4: Too many SMS verification codes were requested too quickly.

Solution: Clicking the button to send the SMS verification code too many times in rapid succession may affect your ability to receive the verification code. Please wait for a while and try again later.

Reason 5: Poor or no signal at your current location.

Solution: If you are unable to receive SMS or experiencing delays in receiving SMS, it is likely due to poor or no signal. Try again in a location with better signal strength.

Other issues:
Disconnected mobile service due to lack of payment, full phone storage, SMS verification being marked as spam, and other situations can also prevent you from receiving SMS verification codes.

Note:
If you are still unable to receive SMS verification codes after trying the above solutions, it’s possible that your have blacklisted the SMS sender. In this case, contact online customer service for assistance.

What to do if you are not receiving the email from MEXC？

If you have not received the email, please try the following methods:

Ensure you have entered the correct email address when signing up;
Check your spam folder or other folders;
Check if emails are sending and being received properly on the email client’s end;
Try using an email from a mainstream provider such as Gmail and Outlook;
Check your inbox again later, as there could be a network delay. The verification code is valid for 15 minutes;
If you are still not receiving the email, it might have been blocked. You will be required to manually whitelist the MEXC email domain before trying to receive the email again.

Please whitelist the following senders (email domain whitelist):

Whitelist for domain name:

mexc.link
mexc.sg
mexc.com

Whitelist for email address:

Note: Once the whitelist settings have been done, please wait for 10 minutes before trying to receive the email verification code, as it may take some time for the whitelist to take effect for certain email service providers.

How To Enhance MEXC Account Security

1. Password Settings: Please set a complex and unique password. For security purposes, make sure to use a password with at least 10 characters, including at least one uppercase and lowercase letter, one number, and one special symbol. Avoid using obvious patterns or information that is easily accessible to others (e.g. your name, email address, birthday, mobile number, etc.).

Password formats we do not recommend: lihua, 123456, 123456abc, test123, abc123
Recommended password formats: Q@ng3532!, iehig4g@#1, QQWwfe@242!

2. Changing Passwords: We recommend that you change your password regularly to enhance the security of your account. It is best to change your password every three months and use a completely different password each time. For more secure and convenient password management, we recommend you to use a password manager such as "1Password" or "LastPass".

In addition, please keep your passwords strictly confidential and do not disclose them to others. MEXC staff will never ask for your password under any circumstances.

3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Linking Google Authenticator: Google Authenticator is a dynamic password tool launched by Google. You are required to use your mobile phone to scan the barcode provided by MEXC or enter the key. Once added, a valid 6-digit authentication code will be generated on the authenticator every 30 seconds. Upon successful linking, you need to enter or paste the 6-digit authentication code displayed on Google Authenticator every time you log in to MEXC.

Linking MEXC Authenticator: You can download and use MEXC Authenticator on App Store or Google Play to enhance the security of your account.

4. Beware of Phishing
Please be vigilant of phishing emails pretending to be from MEXC, and always ensure that the link is the official MEXC website link before logging into your MEXC account. MEXC staff will never ask you for your password, SMS or email verification codes, or Google Authenticator codes.

Common Errors During the Advanced KYC Process

Taking unclear, blurry, or incomplete photos may result in unsuccessful Advanced KYC verification. When performing face recognition, please remove your hat (if applicable) and face the camera directly.
Advanced KYC is connected to a third-party public security database, and the system conducts automatic verification, which cannot be manually overridden. If you have special circumstances, such as changes in residency or identity documents, that prevent authentication, please contact online customer service for advice.
Each account can only perform Advanced KYC up to three times per day. Please ensure the completeness and accuracy of the uploaded information.
If camera permissions are not granted for the app, you will be unable to take photos of your identity document or perform facial recognition.

Deposit

What is a tag or meme, and why do I need to enter it when depositing crypto?

A tag or memo is a unique identifier assigned to each account for identifying a deposit and crediting the appropriate account. When depositing certain crypto, such as BNB, XEM, XLM, XRP, KAVA, ATOM, BAND, EOS, etc., you need to enter the respective tag or memo for it to be successfully credited.

How to check my transaction history?

1. Log in to your MEXC account, click on [Wallets], and select [Transaction History].

2. You can check the status of your deposit or withdrawal from here.

Reasons for Uncredited Deposits

1. Insufficient number of block confirmations for a normal deposit

Under normal circumstances, each crypto requires a certain number of block confirmations before the transfer amount can be deposited into your MEXC account. To check the required number of block confirmations, please go to the deposit page of the corresponding crypto.

2. Making a deposit of an unlisted crypto

Please ensure that the cryptocurrency you intend to deposit on the MEXC platform matches the supported cryptocurrencies. Verify the full name of the crypto or its contract address to prevent any discrepancies. If inconsistencies are detected, the deposit may not be credited to your account. In such cases, submit a Wrong Deposit Recovery Application for assistance from the technical team in processing the return.

3. Depositing through an unsupported smart contract method

At present, some cryptocurrencies cannot be deposited on the MEXC platform using the smart contract method. Deposits made through smart contracts will not reflect in your MEXC account. As certain smart contract transfers necessitate manual processing, please promptly reach out to online customer service to submit your request for assistance.

4. Depositing to an incorrect crypto address or selecting the wrong deposit network

Ensure that you have accurately entered the deposit address and selected the correct deposit network before initiating the deposit. Failure to do so may result in the assets not being credited. In such a scenario, kindly submit a [Wrong Deposit Recovery Application] for the technical team to facilitate the return processing.

Trading

What is Limit Order

A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset at a specified limit price, which is not executed immediately like a market order. Instead, the limit order is activated only if the market price reaches the designated limit price or surpasses it favorably. This allows traders to aim for specific buying or selling prices different from the prevailing market rate.

For instance:

If you set a buy limit order for 1 BTC at $60,000 while the current market price is $50,000, your order will be promptly filled at the prevailing market rate of $50,000. This is because it represents a more favorable price than your specified limit of $60,000.
Similarly, if you place a sell limit order for 1 BTC at $40,000 when the current market price is $50,000, your order will be immediately executed at $50,000, as it is a more advantageous price compared to your designated limit of $40,000.

In summary, limit orders provide a strategic way for traders to control the price at which they buy or sell an asset, ensuring execution at the specified limit or a better price in the market.

What is Market Order

A market order is a type of trading order that is executed promptly at the current market price. When you place a market order, it is fulfilled as swiftly as possible. This order type can be utilized for both buying and selling financial assets.

When placing a market order, you have the option to specify either the quantity of the asset you want to buy or sell, denoted as [Amount], or the total amount of funds you wish to spend or receive from the transaction, denoted as [Total].

For instance, if you intend to purchase a specific quantity of MX, you can directly enter the amount. Conversely, if you aim to acquire a certain amount of MX with a specified sum of funds, like 10,000 USDT, you can use the [Total] option to place the buy order. This flexibility allows traders to execute transactions based on either a predetermined quantity or a desired monetary value.

What is the Stop-Limit Function and How to use it

A stop-limit order is a specific type of limit order used in trading financial assets. It involves setting both a stop price and a limit price. Once the stop price is reached, the order is activated, and a limit order is placed on the market. Subsequently, when the market reaches the specified limit price, the order is executed.

Here’s how it works:

Stop Price: This is the price at which the stop-limit order is triggered. When the asset’s price hits this stop price, the order becomes active, and the limit order is added to the order book.
Limit Price: The limit price is the designated price or a potentially better one at which the stop-limit order is intended to be executed.

It’s advisable to set the stop price slightly higher than the limit price for sell orders. This price difference provides a safety margin between the activation of the order and its fulfillment. Conversely, for buy orders, setting the stop price slightly lower than the limit price helps minimize the risk of the order not being executed.

It’s important to note that once the market price reaches the limit price, the order is executed as a limit order. Setting the stop and limit prices appropriately is crucial; if the stop-loss limit is too high or the take-profit limit is too low, the order may not be filled because the market price may not reach the specified limit.

The current price is 2,400 (A). You can set the stop price above the current price, such as 3,000 (B), or below the current price, such as 1,500 (C). Once the price goes up to 3,000 (B) or drops to 1,500 (C), the stop-limit order will be triggered, and the limit order will be automatically placed on the order book.

Note

Limit price can be set above or below the stop price for both buy and sell orders. For example, stop price B can be placed along with a lower limit price B1 or a higher limit price B2.

A limit order is invalid before the stop price is triggered, including when the limit price is reached ahead of the stop price.

When the stop price is reached, it only indicates that a limit order is activated and will be submitted to the order book, rather than the limit order being filled immediately. The limit order will be executed according to its own rules.

What is One-Cancels-the-Other (OCO) Order

A limit order and a TP/SL order are combined into a single OCO order for placement, known as an OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) order. The other order is automatically canceled if the limit order is performed or partially executed, or if the TP/SL order is activated. When one order is manually canceled, the other order is also canceled at the same time.

OCO orders can help get better execution prices when buying/selling is assured. This trading approach can be used by investors who want to set a limit order and a TP/SL order at the same time during spot trading.

OCO orders are currently only supported for a few tokens, notably Bitcoin. We’ll use Bitcoin as an illustration:

Let’s say you wish to purchase Bitcoin when its price drops to $41,000 from its current $43,400. But, if the price of Bitcoin keeps rising and you think it will keep rising even after crossing $45,000, you would prefer to be able to purchase when it hits $45,500.

Under the "Spot" section on the BTC trading website, click [ᐯ] next to "Stop-limit," then choose [OCO]. Put 41,000 in the "Limit" field, 45,000 in the "Trigger Price" field, and 45,500 in the "Price" field in the left section. Then, to place the order, enter the purchase price in the "Amount" section and choose [Buy BTC].

Withdrawal

Why hasn’t my withdrawal arrived?

Transferring funds involves the following steps:

Withdrawal transaction initiated by MEXC.
Confirmation of the blockchain network.
Depositing on the corresponding platform.

Normally, a TxID (transaction ID) will be generated within 30–60 minutes, indicating that our platform has successfully completed the withdrawal operation and that the transactions are pending on the blockchain.

However, it might still take some time for a particular transaction to be confirmed by the blockchain and, later, by the corresponding platform.

Due to possible network congestion, there might be a significant delay in processing your transaction. You may use the transaction ID (TxID) to look up the status of the transfer with a blockchain explorer.

If the blockchain explorer shows that the transaction is unconfirmed, please wait for the process to be completed.
If the blockchain explorer shows that the transaction is already confirmed, it means that your funds have been sent out successfully from MEXC, and we are unable to provide any further assistance on this matter. You will need to contact the owner or support team of the target address and seek further assistance.

Important Guidelines for Cryptocurrency Withdrawals on MEXC Platform

For crypto that support multiple chains such as USDT, please make sure to choose the corresponding network when making withdrawal requests.
