Interface of the Binance program
The main page displays quotes of the top cryptocurrencies and the latest news of the platform, below – contacts for contacting tech support. For a quick transition to the trading terminal, you need to click on “Buy Now” at the top of the screen.
By default, users are offered to work in the interface Pro (extended version), but you can switch to the light mode (only the most important) or remove unnecessary options in the settings. Clients have access to the following sections:
- Markets. The top of the page displays the rates of the most interesting coins by category – maximum volumes, growth leaders, new listings, BTC, ETH. Below in the table you can find all the cryptocurrency pairs available on the platform. For convenience, they are sorted by sections (spot, futures, new listings).
- Buy. There are two ways – using P2P or bank card.
- Trading. This is the login to the terminal. At the first launch you need to customize the type of charts – standard, several pairs in one window (up to 6).
- Futures. This is a trading terminal for working with open-ended contracts. Users can set a different interface from the spot one.
- All. The menu contains other sections, for which there is no place on the toolbar: Launchpad, Simple Earn, Binance Pool and others.
Program functionality
In 2023, the majority of users use an online client. The desktop app can be an alternative or supplement to basic trading in the browser. Users can:
- View coin charts, apply drawing tools and all indicators available in TradingView. Settings are retained when the application is closed.
- Buy cryptocurrencies – via card or P2P.
- Trade digital assets on spot and futures markets, open margin transactions. After the first login to the terminal, you need to correctly answer 5 questions about the main instruments. For the first six months after registration the maximum available leverage is limited to 20x, further there are no limits.
- Trade options – hedge the risks of falling prices and earn on fast movement. The tool supports BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB.
- Earn passively – place assets at interest. Products with different terms (terms, rates) are available. The exchange guarantees profitability in cryptocurrency if the rules of asset placement are met.
Building charts and graphs
To get historical data on quotes, you need to open the “Trading” or “Futures” section. The charts of spot pairs and corresponding contracts are almost identical, but intraday traders can find differences. Sometimes on futures the movements are sharper, the price squeeze is farther away due to higher margins.
Medium-term analysis is better on spot, and short-term analysis is better on futures.
The window is located in the center of the screen, BTCUSDT is displayed by default. To change the coin, you need to click on the ticker and find tools in the search. You can work with charts in several ways:
- In the basic version or with TradingView. In the second case, all the tools of the popular platform are available to clients. In the basic interface – only basic indicators.
- Customize the view. You can change the display of bars (candlesticks, charts, areas and other), as well as the chart color and shadows.
- Track vertical trading turnovers by assets. You can point a moving average on the chart, then bars with high/low volume will be highlighted.
- Customize the period. You can view from seconds to monthly charts.
- Compare indicators. You can open up to 6 charts in one window or overlay 2 assets to track correlation.
- Monitor orders. Open and pending orders are displayed on the chart. You can change take or stop levels with a mouse.
- Take screenshots. Clients can save a trade situation with one button and send it to a friend in messenger.
Quick search for trades
The most interesting assets can be added to favorites. This will allow you to go to the trading terminal with one button from the main page or from the “Small Window” mode (it is placed on top of another program). To quickly exchange rubles for cryptocurrency you need:

- Select “Visa/Mastercard”.
- Specify the amount and fiat currency – minimum 15 USD, 1200 RUB or equivalent.

Available transactions
Most traders use only 2 types of orders – market (immediate purchase) and limit (at a predetermined price). However, on the Binance exchange, there is also an option to open other orders:
- One-Cancels-the-Other (OCO). A client places 2 orders (buy and sell). When either of them is executed, the second one is automatically canceled.
- Trailing Stop. The transaction will be closed at a certain trailing stop (in percent) from the current price. The order is used in trends to maximize profits.
- Stop and Stake. Limit and market orders are available. When the level is reached, the trade is closed (at the current or a certain price).
- Reverse. The placed order is closed and at the same time a position of the same volume is created, but in the opposite direction. This allows you to quickly react to changes in the situation.
Other platform features
Additional functions are collected in the “All” section. From here you can go to the Launchpad page to participate in new projects, to a mining account or use passive earning tools. A “Conversion” section is also available for exchanging assets.
