Bitunix Exchange Guide for Prop Firm Traders

Bitunix has emerged as one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges for derivatives trading, and it's the exclusive exchange partner for G Club Capital's funded trading program. Whether you're setting up for the first time or looking to optimize your existing setup, this guide covers everything you need to know about using Bitunix as a prop firm trader.

What Is Bitunix?

Bitunix is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange specializing in perpetual futures trading. It offers deep liquidity, competitive fees, and advanced trading tools designed for professional traders.

Key Features

  • 100+ perpetual futures pairs: Including BTC, ETH, and major altcoins
  • Up to 125x leverage: Configurable per position (though we recommend much lower for funded trading)
  • Advanced order types: Limit, market, stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stop, and conditional orders
  • Sub-account system: Enables prop firms to allocate capital to individual traders
  • Robust API: Full read and write API access for monitoring and execution
  • 24/7 customer support: Available via live chat and ticket system

Setting Up Your Bitunix Account

Step 1: Registration

  1. Visit Bitunix.com and click "Sign Up"
  2. Enter your email address and create a strong password
  3. Complete email verification
  4. Set up two-factor authentication (2FA) — this is mandatory for security

Step 2: Identity Verification (KYC)

For prop firm participation, you'll need to complete identity verification:

  1. Navigate to your account settings and find the KYC/Identity Verification section
  2. Submit a government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID)
  3. Complete the selfie verification step
  4. Verification typically takes 24-48 hours

Why KYC matters: G Club Capital requires KYC verification before processing any payouts. Completing it early ensures no delays when you pass your challenge and start earning.

Step 3: Account Security

Secure your account with these essential measures:

  • 2FA: Enable Google Authenticator or a similar TOTP app
  • Anti-phishing code: Set a personal code that appears in all official Bitunix emails
  • Withdrawal whitelist: Only allow withdrawals to pre-approved wallet addresses
  • Login notifications: Get alerts for new device logins

Creating API Keys for Prop Firm Evaluation

During the evaluation phase, G Club Capital connects to your Bitunix account via a read-only API connection to monitor your trading performance. Here's how to set it up:

Step 1: Navigate to API Management

  1. Log in to your Bitunix account
  2. Go to Account SettingsAPI Management
  3. Click Create API Key

Step 2: Configure Permissions

For the evaluation phase, create a read-only API key:

  • Read access: Enables position monitoring, balance checking, and trade history
  • Trade access: Not needed during evaluation (you trade manually)
  • Withdrawal access: Never grant withdrawal access to third parties

Step 3: Set IP Restrictions (Optional)

For additional security, you can restrict the API key to specific IP addresses. G Club Capital will provide the relevant IPs if needed.

Step 4: Copy and Submit Your Keys

  • Copy both the API Key and API Secret
  • Submit them through your G Club Capital dashboard
  • Never share your API secret publicly

Important Security Notes

  • Your read-only API key only allows viewing your account data
  • G Club Capital cannot execute trades, modify orders, or access your funds through this connection
  • You can revoke the API key at any time from your Bitunix account settings
  • Generate a new unique API key for the prop firm — don't reuse keys from other services

The Trading Dashboard

Bitunix's trading interface includes several key areas:

Chart Area: The main price chart where you can apply technical analysis tools, indicators, and drawing tools. Bitunix uses TradingView charts, which are industry-standard.

Order Book: Shows current buy and sell orders at different price levels, giving you insight into supply and demand dynamics.

Order Entry Panel: Where you create new orders. Key fields include:

  • Direction: Long (buy) or Short (sell)
  • Order type: Limit, Market, or Conditional
  • Size: Position size in contracts or USD
  • Leverage: Per-position leverage setting
  • Take profit / Stop loss: Pre-set exit orders

Positions Panel: Displays your current open positions with real-time P&L, margin used, and liquidation price.

Order History: Review your completed, pending, and canceled orders.

Configuring Your Trading Setup

For optimal prop firm trading, configure Bitunix as follows:

  1. Set leverage per pair: Before your first trade on each pair, set the leverage to your preferred level (we recommend 5-10x max)
  2. Choose isolated margin: Protects your overall balance from individual position blowouts
  3. Enable TP/SL by default: Configure the platform to always show take profit and stop loss fields when entering orders
  4. Set up trading alerts: Price alerts for key levels so you don't need to watch charts constantly

Order Types Every Prop Trader Should Know

Market Orders

Execute immediately at the best available price. Use when speed is essential and you're willing to accept potential slippage.

Best for: Exiting losing positions quickly, entering during confirmed breakouts.

Drawback: Slippage during volatile conditions can result in worse prices than expected.

Limit Orders

Execute only at your specified price or better. Your order sits in the order book until it's filled.

Best for: Precise entries at planned price levels, reducing spread costs.

Drawback: May not get filled if price doesn't reach your level.

Stop-Loss Orders

Automatically exit a position when price reaches a specified level, limiting your loss.

Best for: Risk management — every trade should have a stop loss.

Important: Stop-loss orders become market orders once triggered, so you may experience slippage in fast-moving markets.

Take-Profit Orders

Automatically exit a position at a target profit level.

Best for: Locking in profits at predetermined levels without needing to watch the trade.

Trailing Stop Orders

A stop-loss order that moves with the price in your favor, locking in gains while protecting against reversals.

Best for: Trend-following trades where you want to maximize profit while protecting gains.

Conditional (Trigger) Orders

Orders that are only placed when a specific condition is met (e.g., "If BTC breaks above $62,000, place a limit buy at $61,800").

Best for: Pre-planning breakout entries or entries at levels you're watching.

Fee Structure

Understanding fees is critical for funded traders because they directly impact your net profitability:

Trading Fees

Fee TypeRate
Maker (Limit orders)0.02%
Taker (Market orders)0.06%

Tip: Using limit orders instead of market orders saves you 66% on fees. Over many trades, this adds up significantly.

Funding Rates

Perpetual futures charges funding rates every 8 hours. These rates fluctuate based on market conditions:

  • Positive rate: Longs pay shorts (usually when market is bullish)
  • Negative rate: Shorts pay longs (usually when market is bearish)
  • Typical range: 0.005% to 0.05% per 8 hours

For positions held overnight or longer, monitor funding rates closely — they're a hidden cost that can erode profits, especially on leveraged positions.

Withdrawal Fees

Withdrawal fees vary by network:

NetworkFee
USDT (TRC-20)~1 USDT
USDT (ERC-20)~5 USDT
BTC (Bitcoin)Variable

Tips for Optimizing Your Bitunix Experience

1. Master Keyboard Shortcuts

Bitunix supports keyboard shortcuts for faster execution. Learn the essential ones:

  • Quick order placement
  • Chart navigation
  • Position management

2. Use Multiple Chart Layouts

Set up multiple chart layouts for different scenarios:

  • Layout 1: Overview (BTC 4H + ETH 4H + Total Market Cap)
  • Layout 2: Execution (your primary pair on 1H with indicators)
  • Layout 3: Scalping (1M or 5M with order book and depth chart)

3. Set Price Alerts Generously

Don't try to watch charts 24/7. Set alerts at key levels and let the market come to you. This reduces stress and prevents overtrading.

4. Review Your Trade History Regularly

Bitunix provides detailed trade history including entry/exit prices, P&L, fees, and funding payments. Review this data weekly to understand your true net performance.

5. Use the Mobile App

Install the Bitunix mobile app for monitoring positions and managing emergencies when you're away from your desk. Don't use it for regular trading — screens are too small for proper analysis.

Transitioning from Evaluation to Funded Account

Once you pass the evaluation with G Club Capital, the transition to a funded account works as follows:

  1. Completion notification: You receive confirmation that you've passed both evaluation phases
  2. KYC verification: Complete identity verification if not already done
  3. Account provisioning: G Club Capital sets up a Bitunix sub-account funded with the firm's capital
  4. API access: You receive credentials for the funded sub-account
  5. Trading begins: Start trading on the funded account according to the firm's rules
  6. Payouts: Profits are split and paid out according to the published schedule

The funded account looks and feels identical to your personal account — same interface, same tools, same execution. The only difference is the capital isn't yours.

Conclusion

Mastering Bitunix is an essential skill for any trader participating in G Club Capital's program. The platform offers everything a professional trader needs — deep liquidity, advanced order types, and a reliable infrastructure.

Take the time to familiarize yourself with every aspect of the platform before starting your evaluation. A trader who knows their tools inside and out has a significant advantage over one who's still figuring out the interface during a challenge.
