Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why cant I reset my password?

Coinbase takes a number of steps to ensure the security of our customers accounts. These include enforcing strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and device verification.

When a customer attempts to reset their password, we take precautions to ensure that it is a legitimate request. This means that our customers may only reset their passwords from devices they have previously verified, or from locations they have previously logged in from. This requirement provides a safeguard against attempts to illegitimately reset your password.

If you are having trouble resetting your password, you will need to:

1. Reset it from a device you have previously used to access Coinbase.
2. Reset it from a location (IP address) youve previously used to access Coinbase.

As a security precaution, if you reset your password from a new device, you won’t be able to send crypto from your account for up to 48 hours. To avoid this send restriction, request a password reset from a previously authorized device.

If you no longer have access to a previously validated device or IP address, please contact Coinbase Support so we can have a member of our security team assist you with a password reset.

Important: Coinbase Support will NEVER ask for your account password or 2-step verification codes.

Why will my password reset require 24 hours to process?

As noted above, Coinbase only processes password reset requests from devices that have been previously authorized to access your account. If you are resetting your password from a new device, our system may delay the processing time for 24 hours in the interest of keeping your account secure. This can be bypassed by resetting your password from a previously verified device.

Note: If you do not have a previously authorized device, please do not make additional attempts to log in. Each new attempt resets the clock and will prolong the delay.

Advanced trading dashboard: Buy and Sell Crypto

Advanced trading is currently available to a limited audience and only accessible on web. We’re working hard to make this feature available to more customers soon.

Advanced trading gives you more robust tools to make better trading decisions. You have access to real-time market information through interactive charts, order books, and live trade history on the advanced trade view.


Depth chart: The depth chart is a visual representation of the order book, showing bid and ask orders over a range of prices, along with the cumulative size.

Order book: The order book panel shows the current open orders on Coinbase in a ladder format.

Order panel: The order (buy/sell) panel is where you place orders on the order book.

Open orders: The open orders panel displays maker orders that have been posted, but not filled, canceled, or expired. To view all of your order history, select the order history button and view all.


Price chart

The price chart is a fast and easy way to view historical pricing. You can customize your price chart display by time range and chart type, as well as use a series of indicators to provide additional insight into pricing trends.

Time range

You can see the pricing history and trading volume of an asset over a specific span of time. You can adjust your view by selecting one of the time frames from the upper right-hand corner. This will adjust the x-axis (the horizontal line) to see the trading volume over that specific length of time. If you change the time from the drop-down menu, this will change the y-axis (the vertical line) so you can see the price of an asset in that time frame.


Chart types

The candlestick chart displays the high, low, open, and closing prices of an asset for a specific time frame.

• O (open) is the opening price of the asset at the beginning of the specified period.
• H (high) is the highest trading price of the asset in that period.
• L (low) is the lowest trading price of the asset in that period.
• C (close) is the closing price of the asset at the end of the specific period.

Check out this guide on how to read candlestick charts for more information.

• The line chart captures an assets historical price by connecting a series of data points with a continuous line.

Indicators

These indicators track market trends and patterns to help inform your trading decisions. You can select multiple indicators to give you a better perspective of an asset’s buy and sell price.

• RSI (relative strength index) shows a trend’s duration and helps you spot when it will reverse.
• EMA (exponential moving average) captures how quickly a trend is moving and its strength. EMA measures the average price points of an asset.
• SMA (smooth moving average) is like an EMA but measures the average price points of an asset over a longer period of time.
• MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) measures the relationship between the highest and lowest average price points. When a trend is forming, the graph will converge or meet at a specific value.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why did Coinbase cancel my order?

In order to ensure the security of Coinbase users accounts and transactions, Coinbase may decline certain transactions (buys or deposits) if Coinbase observes suspicious activity.

If you believe your transaction should not have been canceled, please follow these steps:

1. Complete all verification steps, including verifying your identity
2. Email Coinbase Support so your case can be further reviewed.

Order management

Advanced trading is currently available to a limited audience and only accessible on web. We’re working hard to make this feature available to more customers soon.

To view all of your open orders, select Orders under the Order management section on web—advanced trading is not available on the Coinbase mobile app yet. You’ll see each of your orders that are currently awaiting fulfillment as well as your complete order history.

How do I cancel an open order?

To cancel an open order, make sure youre viewing the market your order was placed (e.g. BTC-USD, LTC-BTC, etc). Your open orders will be listed in the Open Orders panel on the trading dashboard. Select X to cancel individual orders or select CANCEL ALL to cancel a group of orders.

Why are my funds on hold?

Funds reserved for open orders are placed on hold and will not appear in your available balance until the order is executed or canceled. If you would like to release your funds from being on "hold," you will need to cancel the associated open order.

Why is my order being partially filled?

When an order is partially filled, it means that there is not enough liquidity (trading activity) in the market to fill your entire order, so it may take several orders to execute in order to fill your order completely.

My order executed incorrectly

If your order is a limit order, it will only fill at the specified price or a better price. So if your limit price is much higher or lower than the current trading price of an asset, the order will likely execute closer to the current trading price.

Additionally, depending on the volume and prices of orders on the Order Book at the time when a market order is posted, the market order may fill at a price less favorable than the most recent trade price—this is called slippage.
