Questions
Do I need a lot of money to start?
No. Start with a small amount you can afford to lose while you learn how deposits, trading and withdrawals work.
Does a referral rebate cost me anything?
No. You pay the normal fee; the exchange returns part of it according to the share set when the link was created.
