US-investors can trade here. However, if you are a US-investor, you should still always analyse whether your home state imposes any obstacles for your foreign cryptocurrency trading. Sometimes exchanges will allow trading or use of crypto in spite of your own state prohibiting you from trading.

The PIT Trading View

Different exchanges have different trading views. And there is no “this overview is the best”-view. You should yourself determine which trading view that suits you the best. What the views normally have in common is that they all show the order book. Or, at least part of the order book. They also show a price chart of the chosen crypto and order history. They normally also have buy and sell-boxes. Before you choose an exchange, try to have a look at the trading view so that you can see that it feels right to you. The below is a picture of the trading view at The PIT:

The PIT Fees

The PIT Trading fees

The one thing we can’t stress enough is that you must always ascertain the trading fees at any exchange you are interested in. Every trade occurs between two parties: the maker, whose order exists on the order book prior to the trade, and the taker, who places the order that matches (or “takes”) the maker’s order. Makers make the liquidity in a market and takers remove this liquidity by matching makers’ orders with their own.

The PIT’s trading fees for takers are 0.24%. This fee is in line with industry average. The exchange also offers a discount to makers, who trade at a fee of 0.14%. This is especially beneficial for the investors not interested in picking up existing orders from the order book.

The PIT Withdrawal fees

We have not been able to find any information on The PIT’s withdrawal fees. This is potentially a risk for you as an investor. When fees are not clearly presented somewhere, it tends to be a reason for that (such reason often being that the fees are high). Accordingly, we urge you to make your own analysis of the withdrawal fees.

Deposit Methods

At The PIT, you can deposit through wire transfer, but not via credit card. If you for any reason need an exchange that also accepts deposits via credit cards, you can find one by using the filters in our Exchange List our simply by completing the Exchange Finder test.
