Last Updated: February 21, 2026
This Trading Policy governs all trading activity conducted on the Bitara platform, including Spot, Futures, Binary Options, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Copy Trading. By placing any order or executing any trade on Bitara, you agree to the rules, procedures, and limitations set forth in this policy. This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service and Risk Disclosure.
1. General Trading Rules
1.1 Market Integrity
Bitara is committed to maintaining fair, orderly, and transparent markets. All users must trade in good faith and are strictly prohibited from engaging in any activity that distorts prices, misleads other market participants, or undermines market integrity.
1.2 Order Execution
- Orders are executed on a price-time priority basis
- Bitara uses an automated matching engine. Execution is not guaranteed for limit orders that do not find a counterpart
- Market orders are executed at the best available price at the time of matching; slippage may occur in low-liquidity conditions
- Bitara does not guarantee execution at any specific price for market orders
1.3 Order Types Available
- Market Order: Executed immediately at best available price
- Limit Order: Executed at your specified price or better
- Stop-Limit Order: Triggers a limit order when a specified stop price is reached
- Stop-Market Order: Triggers a market order when a specified stop price is reached
- Take-Profit / Stop-Loss (TP/SL): Available on futures and spot for automated position management
- Trailing Stop: Dynamically adjusts stop price as the market moves in your favor
- Post-Only: Ensures your order is placed as a maker (rejected if it would match immediately)
1.4 Minimum and Maximum Order Sizes
Minimum and maximum order sizes per instrument are published on each trading pair's detail page. These limits may be adjusted at Bitara's discretion to manage liquidity and risk.
2. Spot Trading Policy
2.1 Settlement
Spot trades settle immediately upon execution. Funds are debited from and credited to your Bitara wallet in real time.
2.2 Asset Availability
Bitara may add, suspend, or delist trading pairs without prior notice, though we endeavor to give at least 72 hours' notice for planned delistings. In exceptional circumstances (security incidents, regulatory orders), immediate suspension may occur.
2.3 Price Feeds
Spot prices are derived from Bitara's internal order book. External index prices may be referenced for display purposes only and do not affect order execution.
3. Futures Trading Policy
3.1 Contract Types
- Perpetual Futures: No expiry date; position held until manually closed or liquidated
- Delivery Futures: Fixed expiry with settlement at the contract's index price at expiry time
3.2 Leverage
- Leverage is available up to maximum levels per asset class
- Maximum leverage may be reduced for accounts with insufficient trading history or KYC tier
- Bitara reserves the right to reduce maximum leverage platform-wide or for specific instruments based on market conditions or regulatory guidance
3.3 Margin System
- Initial Margin: Required to open a position (varies by leverage and asset)
- Maintenance Margin: Minimum equity to keep a position open
- Margin Call: Triggered when equity approaches maintenance margin; you may add margin or reduce position size
- Isolated vs. Cross Margin:
- Isolated Margin: Risk limited to margin allocated to a single position
- Cross Margin: All available account balance used as collateral; higher liquidation risk
3.4 Liquidation
- Liquidation is triggered when your margin ratio falls to or below the maintenance margin threshold
- Liquidation is performed by Bitara's automated liquidation engine at the best available market price
- You may receive less than your remaining margin after liquidation fees
- In extreme market conditions (gap events, low liquidity), liquidation may result in a negative balance. Bitara's Insurance Fund covers such shortfalls to protect other users; any remaining deficit may be subject to Auto-Deleveraging (ADL)
3.5 Funding Rate (Perpetual Contracts)
Funding rates are calculated every 8 hours and exchanged between long and short position holders to anchor perpetual contract prices near the spot index. Funding rate history is publicly available in the trading interface. Funding is not charged by Bitara; it is a peer-to-peer payment between position holders.
3.6 Index Price & Mark Price
- Index Price: Weighted average of prices from multiple external spot exchanges. Used as the reference for settlement and funding rate calculation
- Mark Price: Fair value price used for unrealized P&L calculation and liquidation trigger. Designed to reduce unnecessary liquidations caused by temporary price manipulation
4. Binary Options Trading Policy
4.1 Trade Structure
A binary option presents a single yes/no proposition: "Will [Asset] be above [Strike Price] at [Expiry Time]?"
- Call (Up): You predict the price will be at or above the strike at expiry
- Put (Down): You predict the price will be below the strike at expiry
4.2 Payouts and Loss
- Payout percentages (e.g., 70–90% return on investment) are fixed and displayed before you place the trade
- If the prediction is incorrect, the trade amount is lost in full
- The maximum loss per trade is the amount invested; binary options cannot result in a negative balance
4.3 Expiry and Settlement
- Settlement is based on Bitara's published index price at the exact expiry timestamp
- Expiry times range from 30 seconds to 24 hours depending on the contract
- In the event of a platform outage at the time of expiry, settlement will be based on the last verifiable index price. Bitara's determination is final
4.4 Regulatory Notice
Binary options are regulated as financial instruments in many jurisdictions and may be prohibited or restricted for retail investors in certain regions (including EU member states under ESMA guidelines). You are responsible for confirming that trading binary options is legal in your jurisdiction before using this feature. Bitara reserves the right to restrict binary options access in any jurisdiction at any time.
5. P2P Trading Policy
5.1 Platform Role
In P2P trading, Bitara acts solely as an escrow and dispute resolution intermediary. Bitara is not a buyer or seller and is not responsible for the quality, legality, or reliability of payment methods used by counterparties.
5.2 Escrow Mechanism
- When a P2P trade is matched, the seller's crypto is locked in Bitara escrow
- The buyer completes fiat payment outside the Bitara platform using the agreed payment method
- The buyer marks the payment as sent
- The seller verifies receipt of payment in their bank/payment account
- The seller releases the crypto from escrow to the buyer
- Never release crypto before confirming payment is received in your account

The following payment methods are prohibited on Bitara P2P:
- Cash or physical currency transfers

- Third-party payments (the payment must come from an account in the buyer's verified name)
5.4 Dispute Resolution
- Either party may raise a dispute within the trade window if a disagreement arises
- Bitara's P2P dispute team will review evidence submitted by both parties (payment screenshots, bank receipts, communication logs)
- Bitara will make a final determination within 72 hours (complex cases may take up to 7 business days)
- Bitara's decision in disputes is final and binding
- Crypto held in escrow will be released to the party determined to have the valid claim
