Ouinex FAQ.
Everything traders ask about accounts, fees, funding, security and $OUIX: in nine topics. If your question is not here, support answers it.
What is Ouinex?
Ouinex is a multi-asset exchange where you trade crypto spot, crypto perpetual futures, forex, commodities, stock indices and shares from one account.
It runs a no-CLOB execution model, which means there is no public order book, so your pending orders and stop losses are not visible to market makers.
What makes Ouinex different from other exchanges?
Four things separate Ouinex from a standard crypto exchange.
- No-CLOB execution. There is no central limit order book, so your pending orders and stop losses are not visible to the market. The structural conditions for front-running and stop hunting do not exist.
- One account, six markets. Crypto spot, crypto perpetuals, forex, commodities, stock indices and shares: no sub-accounts, no separate logins.
- Costs you can see before you trade. The spread and estimated slippage are shown on every order, and you set the maximum negative slippage you will accept.
- Segregated client assets. Every deposit is matched 1:1 and held separately from operating capital, with over 80% in offline cold storage.
How does the no-CLOB execution model work?
A central limit order book (CLOB) publishes every pending order in one visible ledger, which is what makes front-running and stop hunting possible. Ouinex does not operate one.
Your pending orders, including stop losses, are not visible to the market or to Ouinex, and every order executes at the published price. The full mechanism is set out on Safety of Assets.
