Everything you need to know to start trading, securing, and mastering Coinbase Pro—your professional crypto exchange platform.
Coinbase Pro is the advanced trading platform from Coinbase, designed for users who want more control, lower fees, and access to professional-grade tools. On Coinbase Pro you can place limit, market, and stop orders, monitor real-time order books, and execute trades across hundreds of crypto pairs.
Getting started only takes a few minutes, and once your account is verified you’ll have full access to all features—from secure deposits to advanced charting. The platform integrates seamlessly with the main Coinbase account, letting you transfer funds instantly between wallets at no cost.
Before trading, you’ll need a verified account. Here’s how to set up your profile safely:
Once approved, your dashboard becomes active. You can now deposit funds from your Coinbase account, a bank transfer, or supported crypto wallets.
Coinbase Pro’s interface is powerful yet intuitive. After login, you’ll see:
You can switch between markets using the dropdown in the top-left corner, or star your favorite pairs for quicker access. Dark and light themes are available for user comfort.
Ctrl + B (Windows) or Cmd + B (Mac) to toggle between buy and sell panels.
Market orders execute immediately at the best available price. They’re ideal for quick entry or exit but may incur slightly higher fees if liquidity is low.
Limit orders let you choose the exact price you want to buy or sell. These orders remain open until matched, giving traders precise control and often lower maker fees.
A stop order triggers once the asset reaches your specified stop price—useful for setting stop-loss or take-profit strategies.
Coinbase Pro uses a maker-taker fee model. Makers (who add liquidity) pay lower fees than takers (who remove liquidity). Fee tiers depend on 30-day trading volume; higher volumes earn reduced rates.
Coinbase Pro integrates TradingView charts for deep technical analysis. You can add indicators such as RSI, MACD, and moving averages, or draw trendlines directly on the chart. Historical data and order book heatmaps give traders valuable insight into market behavior.
Developers can connect via the Coinbase Pro API to automate trading, fetch data, and build custom bots. API keys should always be generated with restricted permissions and stored securely.
Security is Coinbase Pro’s highest priority. The platform combines strong encryption, hardware protection, and regulatory compliance to safeguard users.
