- Funds go directly into your spot wallet after a trade
- No leverage is involved – you can only spend what you have
- There’s no expiry, no contract, no forced liquidation

Step-by-Step Guide to Trade Spot on BTZO
Here’s how to place your first spot trade. The process is nearly identical on desktop and mobile – the layout just shifts to fit the screen.
Step 1: Log In and Check Your Spot Wallet
Go to btzo.com and log in. Once you’re in, head to Wallets → Spot to check your available balance. You’ll need USDT or another base currency in your spot wallet before placing any trade.
If your wallet is empty, you’ll need to deposit first. Go to Wallets → Spot → Deposit, choose your token and network (ERC20, TRC20, BEP20), and send funds from your external wallet. Once confirmed on chain, the balance shows up in your spot wallet automatically. You can also use BTZO Convert to swap one crypto for another instantly if you already hold a different asset.
Note: For a smoother and more secure trading experience, complete your KYC (identity verification) and enable 2FA (two-factor authentication). This helps unlock higher transaction limits, ensures faster deposits and withdrawals, and strengthens your account security. It only takes a few minutes and can prevent interruptions while trading.
Step 2: Open the Spot Trading Interface
Click Trade in the top menu, then select Spot. You’ll land on the main trading screen. Here’s what you see:
- Price chart – candlestick view with multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 1D, and more)
- Order book – live buy (green) and sell (red) orders with price and size
- Recent trades panel – every executed trade in real time
- Buy / Sell panel – on the right side, where you place your orders
- Order history – at the bottom: Open Orders, Order Fills, TWAP Orders, and Spot Trade History
Step 3: Choose Your Trading Pair
Use the pair selector at the top to choose which asset you want to trade. For beginners, BTC/USDT on BTZO is the best starting point. High liquidity means orders fill quickly and the price spread stays tight.
Step 4: Pick Your Order Type
This is the point where most newcomers start to experience their first confusion. The order panel contains three tabs which are named Limit, Market and Advanced. The following list explains the functions of each tab.
Limit Order
You set the price you want. The order sits in the book until the market reaches it. Use this when you want a specific entry price and you’re not in a rush. If BTC is trading at $76,000 and you only want to buy at $75,500, place a limit buy at $75,500.
Market Order
Executes instantly at the current best price. Fast, simple, guaranteed to fill. The trade-off is you don’t control the exact price – in a fast-moving market, you might pay slightly more (or get slightly less) than the displayed price.
Advanced Orders
These are for adding risk controls to your trades. You don’t need these on day one, but knowing they exist is useful:
- Stop Limit / Stop Market – triggers a buy or sell when the price hits a threshold you define
- Take Profit Limit / Market – automatically sells when the price reaches your profit target
- OCO (One Cancels the Other) – sets a profit target and a stop-loss at the same time; when one triggers, the other cancels
- TWAP – splits a large order across time to avoid moving the market price
Quick reference for order types:
| Order Type | Speed | Price Control | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market Order | Instant | No - fills at best available price | Quick entries/exits |
| Limit Order | Waits for your price | Yes - you set the price | Planned trades, better value |
| Stop Limit | Triggers then waits | Yes - with a trigger | Risk management |
| OCO | Two orders at once | Yes - one cancels the other | Profit + stop-loss combined |
Step 5: Enter Your Trade Size and Place the Order
On the Buy side, enter how much USDT you want to spend – or use the percentage slider to allocate a portion of your balance (25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%). The system calculates the BTC amount you’ll receive automatically.
Double-check the total, then hit Buy Order. The trade executes and the asset appears in your spot wallet within seconds. Also when depositing funds, remember that BTZO has separate wallet types. For spot trading, you must deposit your funds into the Spot Wallet, not other wallet types like futures or earn wallets. This ensures your balance is ready and available for trading immediately after confirmation on the blockchain.
To sell, click the Sell tab, enter the amount of BTC (or whichever asset) you want to sell, choose your order type, and confirm.
Step 6: Track Your Orders
At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find:
- Open Orders – limit orders waiting to fill
- Order Fills – a record of completed trades
- TWAP Orders – if you’ve set up any time-weighted orders
- Spot Trade History – full log of every trade you’ve made
You can cancel any unfilled limit order from the Open Orders tab at any time.
Trading Spot on BTZO Mobile App
The BTZO app follows the same flow. Open the app, tap Trade → Spot, select your pair, choose your order type, enter the size, and confirm. The chart, order book, and order panel are all accessible from the same screen. Pinch to zoom on the chart, and tap the order book to autofill a price into your order panel.
Why Spot Trading Is Beginner-Friendly
Futures trading involves leverage, liquidation risk, and funding fees. Margin trading adds borrowed capital to the mix. Spot trading has none of that. What you see is what you get.
- You can’t lose more than you put in. There’s no leverage to amplify losses. If BTC drops 20%, your position drops 20% – not 200%.
- You own the asset. After buying, the crypto is yours. You can hold it, stake it through BTZO Earn, or sell it whenever you want.
- No expiry dates. Futures contracts expire. Spot positions don’t. You hold as long as you want.
- Simple mechanics. Two order types – market and limit – are enough to get started. The rest you can learn as you go.
When you’re ready to do more than just hold, BTZO’s AutoTrader lets you run AI-powered strategies on your spot holdings without manual trading.
