Hi All, I sometimes do a lot of trading on the exchanges.  When a market is being pumped, i try to buy/sell really fast, and have been doing ok with it.

Has anyone heard of an exchange banning someone for too much activity?  I am worried I might be seen as a bot with how fast some of my trades are, and the amount of trades I make daily.

Any thoughts?

I personally never heard of such a thing. As long as your account is verified with real documents and your funds are not from suspicious activities (anything illegal), there is nothing to be afraid of.

Definitely ! Nothing to worry about that sir! That's not a problem if you buy/sell fast, some of the traders use bot for trading yet not been banned from it. So as mention above by sir OmegaStarScream, as long as your verified user you will never be banned from trading on that particular exchanges.

That seems ridiculous, ad counter productive of them.... you never know though, we are in a  brave new world where anything could happen

Yeah, that is basically it! Once your account is verified you are free to do any type of trading. And by the way, most of the exchanges do have their limits in terms for the initial investment.

If there's anything an exchange will do with such, that is they'll thank you for being active since you've given them too much from the fees of your trades and whatnot. Never heard nor read about such. Closing or disabling of accounts are often done on accounts that have incorrect/fraud verification and suspicious activities/scams. As long as you're verified with your true identity and complied with the exchange's ToS, your account would be fine (unless it's Bittrex, lol).

I don't think so it is easy to banned for too much of activity, in fact, exchanges can't do this as it is one of their source of income and i have never heard any kind of situation like this before. your account with trading exchanges can only be banned if your submitted documents are not correct or if you don't operate your account for the particular period of time.I have come across a situation like this in the stock market exchange where one of my documents was not correct and at last, i got my account banned, that's different that I got a new account afterwards.

I haven't heard of such thing before, it sounds strange Lol. You trading on an exchange brings more money to the Exchange site, so why would they be weary of making more money??. Its of benefits to them you're using their platform in laying trades, so whether you're a Bot or not, does not necessarily count.. Ride on Bro

I have not really seen a situation where anyone gets banned for having too much activity on an exchange. As long as you are doing your thing and you are not hurting anyone, you are good to go. However, I remember getting a mail from bittrex during their recent upgrade that they are going to ban anyone who is found participating in any pump and dump. I do not know how they can easily pull this off, but that really would not be right in my opinion.

relax mate, i doubt you can beat bot in action speed, unless u are using 3rd party programs to help you which is kinda like using bot, even so i doubt that you will be banned

There is no such thing like that on any trading platform believed me. And I don't believed you are that fast. I mean, how come? lol. Daily pump? You have all of that pumped coins and can do multiple trades at the same time? I don't think so or (maybe you will use a trading bot so for clarification you asked some opinion here if you will get banned on that "fast" phase activity on trading platforms).

What will your triggered them is; big amount withdrawals, violating terms of policy and services and something like that.


Exactly. :)

why exchanges are opened ??
why binance do giveaway for highest tradings ??
how exchange do pay up their operational and other costs ??

it is your fee which you pay while trading , so why they will ban you as long as you pay them fees .

however if you do suspicious activities or misuse any bugs of that exchange , they will not hesitate to ban you ..

I've never heard anything like that neither. The only thing close to this, was bittrex announcement back in November 2017, regarding market manipulation:

Dont worry about ban your account because of too many activity. Its never been applied for cryptocurremcy trading.
Its sometime happen in forex trading since so many bad platform in there. So crypto trading is free for such kind of trading activity.

There is nothing wrong with lots of activities, in fact these activities of yours will benefits the trading sites or exchanges thru flat service in which the more activities we have is the more they will earned. The only activity you should worry is if your activity is involving in huge transaction like converting bitcoin to a large amount of fiat then probably the government will monitor or might question you about the huge money.

no you will not be banned for too much activities, because nowadays, exchanges are having new machinism to stop us from working too much like they set a limit for our transactions, usually maximum is 8-10BTC depends on exchanges, but you can work so much more if you verify your account to encrease the limit.

I don't think that the exchanging sites have that kind of rule. And each time you exchange they took a percentage as fee, so they make profit each time if they put a ban on their own profit then that is a stupidity, which they will never do. 

haha. usually exchanges love 'too much activity' = more fees

It is just like you saying someone will be ban for doing two much transaction in a bank setting, I think exchanges love it

I never experienced or heard any instances that a user of trading platform/exchange gets banned because of trading too much so don't worry about that because those exchanges would love their users to actively trade cryptocurrency because they will earn more money from it, because every trade has an equivalent fee. The only thing should bother you if you are doing any kinds of illegal activities but if none, I think that there are no reasons for the exchange to freeze/ban your account. Also note that one of the reason why those exchanges are still operating/survive is because of those trade fee which is the only way they can earn.

The more activity you do the better to gain trust and rank.

Yes mate, you do not need to be worry just because you do a lot of trade in any exchange.
Actually, as i know that such kind of activity will get banned if you trade not in cryptocurrency. Sometime forex exchange did banned their customer if they have more profit than deposit.

I never heard something like that, it's okay to make a lot of trades everyday because they generate income from the trading fee so I don't think it's a problem and they like their users to trade a lot as it increase their revenue. It become something to be worried about if your login activity is suspicious like from a lot of different places. There are a lot of bots who trades a lot each day and I never heard someone got banned from too much activity.

A lot of activity on the market means a lot of profit for the exchange. Don't you wonder, where do the exchange sites make a profit ?. Well, one of them is from the transactions made by its members every day. Even the number of transactions can beat transactions in the bank in a day by the amount of transaction or amount of fee. So, it is very strange if we should be discarded, because of it.

I didnt encounter this thing experiencing banned for being active in the exchange. Every transactions is gaining profit from the exchange. So I dont think it will happen in the future.

I never heard and i never think that will happen because you pay the fee to make the move you want to do.You can always do what you are paying for

You dont have to worry to suspected as BOT, because in the trading platform that im using (and i do believe in other platform also), i personally reported a suspicious trading activity (its trading same exact amount over and over again) then one of there staff told me "its allowed, thats what API's is for". So yeah, BOT is allowed in trading, so you dont have to worry about making to much activity.

I do not think you will be banned for trading back and forth. There are hundreds of bots trading faster than you. If you are using ALGORY.IO cryptocurrency trading tools, your trading activities will reduce and you will have more profit! Get ALGORY.IO token and you should be set to use it's trading tools like cryptoscan, crypto analyser etc

Precisley, as long as you are not doing any illegal stuff and you were verified then there's nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it is privilege for them if you are using  their exchaging site. The more you use their site the more profit they will get from you hence, they will never ban you upon using thier site.

I doubt you will be banned for excessive activity , though depends on what activity you're doing if it does not affect or breach the rules of the exchange nothing to worry mate. Exchanges are design to handle loads of traffic from millions of individual , "for trading" . But if you're doing something illegal and is against their rule then I would think twice and won't risk losing my coins for doing such activities.

No, more trades = more fees for exchange = more money for them.
Not a single exchange will ban you for too much activity, to be honest trading requires too much activity.
Shitposters everywhere.

I don't feel that you might just get banned for much activity with exchanges. The site would appreciate much activity as the more you will use a site for exchanges the more they will benefit.
Also you have to make this clear that unless you don't do something illegal or suspicious noone will ban you from anything.

i heard this first time seriously  ;D i think nobody face this before hope we cant face this problem future.

There are lots of short term trader wherein some of them are trading daily so I guess you wouldn't get banned from exchanges for too much activity unless you are doing something wrong. Trading is a good form of investment. It's sad to hear if they will ban someone from doing it often.

but it seems to me that the only limit for a trader may be a withdrawal limit, as well as setting two-factor authentication as one of the security methods. If you work with several devices, then this work makes it difficult.

I do not think you can be banned for too much activities on an exchange platform. The amount of trades you make on a daily basis doesn't at all matter.  What matters is if you did your credentials verification during registration.

Lol, it seems bittrex is becoming the most messed up exchange right now.
I read some news some days back on how they are trying to clamp down on pump and dump groups and they even included it on their TOS. That sucks though, but that is their terms and anyone who does not want that should use another exchange.

However, like you said, there is really no need for anyone to get banned for too much activity as that is how the exchanges are making money anyway with the fees.

Actually you can if you almost have the same activity as the pump and dump groups. Bittrex has issued a warning statement against such activity and has stated that any account which shall be a part of pump and dump groups shall be banned from using bittrex and the funds shall not be returned to the users. Don't know about other exchanges but be careful.

I agree that there are groups of users who, by their actions, greatly influence the price of the stock exchange and thus artificially implement manipulations that enable them to forecast future statistics and earn good money for a particular group on this. These accounts can be subject to a ban. If a person is a simple trader, then he has nothing to fear.

If it is a compliance-conscious exchange, excessive account activity might lead to greater scrutiny and inquiries about the nature of the transactions, the source of funds and might even trigger a review of your KYC credentials. Exchanges are happy to see revenue pouring into their coffers from trading activities but the regulated ones (like Bitstamp) jealously protect their accreditation and will close accounts and terminate relationships if they detect account activites which go against their AML terms.

If your account is verified and all your transactions are justifiably legal, then getting banned is still a risk to expect but it is a quantifiable risk, meaning you can avoid it by trading within certain limits and being sure you can explain the nature and source of those coins or funds.

As for the less legitimate exchanges, you might get banned if your account has a balance which they deem worth stealing.

Big percentage of volume on every exchange comes from bots that use exchange APIs.
Exchanges love "bots".

You shouldn't worry about it
