This page collects every limit you are likely to run into on Sky Trade — from the smallest deposit to the largest withdrawal per day. The values below are the platform defaults. The administration can change them, so the number shown in the terminal or wallet at the moment you act is the one that counts.

Deposit limits

WhatLimit
Minimum deposit, most networks$10
Minimum deposit, USDT TRC-20$15
Minimum deposit, Ethereum (ERC-20) networks$20
Maximum per deposit$50,000
Unpaid deposits at a time1
Validity of a deposit request60 minutes

Minimums differ by network: they are higher for USDT TRC-20 and for Ethereum (ERC-20) networks, where transfer fees also tend to be higher. For a small first deposit, a network with a $10 minimum (for example USDT BEP-20 or TON) is usually the practical choice. Step-by-step instructions are in how to deposit.

If you send less than the requested amount, only what arrives is credited. You can top up the difference by sending it to the same address.

Trading limits

WhatLimit
Minimum stake$1
Maximum stake$50,000

Longest expiry4 hours
Open trades at the same timeup to 20
Payout range20% – 94%

Expiry presets go from 5 seconds to 4 hours, and you can also set expiry by clock time ("close at" a specific moment). On market pairs, presets shorter than 30 seconds are not available. Payout percentages are explained in payout percentage; choosing an expiry is covered in choosing expiry time.

A low minimum stake is useful for one reason: it lets you keep each trade small relative to your balance. A common rule is to risk only a small, fixed share of your balance per trade — see risk per trade and the risk calculator.

Withdrawals also need a confirmed email and your password on every request, and every request is reviewed manually with no promised processing time. Full details: how withdrawals work.

Demo account

The demo account starts with $10,000 in virtual money and can be reset back to $10,000 with the ↻ button when no demo trades are open. Demo trades follow the same stake and expiry limits and the same server prices as real trading.

Worked example

Say you deposit $10 over USDT BEP-20 and want each trade to be no more than 5% of your balance. That is a stake of about $0.50 — below the $1 minimum. In other words, with a $10 balance every $1 trade is already 10% of your money. That is not a reason to deposit more; it is a reason to stay on demo until you know what you are doing.

Limits describe what the platform allows, not what is sensible. Trading involves a risk of losing capital, and you can lose the full amount of any trade.
