About Day1x
What is Day1x?
Day1x is a cryptocurrency exchange founded on the premise that people should pay less to trade crypto. Frustrated with the fees we had to pay trading crypto for ourselves, we decided to use our expertise in the financial markets to design something better and more cost effective than what exists in the market today.
Day1x and Fusion Markets
Fusion Markets is a Forex and CFD broker founded by Phil Horner and David Swinden. Launched to the public in 2019, Fusion is for Forex and CFDs what Day1x is for Crypto, offering traders a lower cost to trade than what exists in the market.
Do you have a demo Account?
Currently, we don’t have demo accounts but will be adding these in future.
What are the fees from Day1x?
Day1x prides itself on having the most transparent pricing in the industry. All trades will incur a 0.25% flat market fee and unlike others, there are no volume requirements or different fees for different order types. You can read more about it on the Fees page of our website.
Are you regulated?
Yes, Day1x is licensed and registered as a Digital Asset Exchange with AUSTRAC which currently regulates Australia's AML/CTF requirements.
What about ASIC?
Currently digital assets do not fall within ASIC's scope. That being said, there are currently new rules relating to digital assets that are being considered which would mean that exchanges require authorisations from ASIC to complete this service. Day1x believes that strong regulation is important for consumer protection and would be the first to raise our hand to be part of these new regulatory requirements.
Does Day1x have a mobile app?
We do not have a mobile app at the moment, but this is in development. Ensure to sign up to Day1x to be the first to know when it’s available.

What's the difference between fiat and crypto?
Fiat currency is traditional government-issued money, backed by trust in the issuing authority and regulated by central banks. It exists in physical forms such as banknotes and coins. Cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, is a digital currency that generally operates on decentralized networks, without the need for a central authority. It is secured by cryptography and operates on blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies are not physical and are created through unique consensus mechanisms. The value of fiat currencies are determined by government policy and region economies, while the value of cryptocurrencies are determined by the market.
How does slippage work?
Slippage is the difference between your order price and executed price. This can occur due to a number of reasons such as there is not enough liquidity at your ordered price or the bid/ask spread changes by the time your order executes. To avoid slippage, using order types like limit orders will ensure your assets are only sold at your limit price. Note that Limit Orders are not guaranteed to execute as the market price may never reach the price level that you have specified.
Why are the prices of digital assets sometime different from other exchanges?
Markets are not 100% efficient, so crypto prices may vary from exchange to exchange. This can happen due to a number of factors such as trade volume, liquidity, and regulatory restrictions.
What is a stop-limit order?
A stop limit order is a specific order type that combines a stop with a limit order. This is generally used to ensure your order is filled when an asset reaches a certain price. If Bitcoin was trading at 20,000 and you wanted to buy Bitcoin if it rose to 21,000 you could set a stop-limit order to buy it at your designated price. Note that stop-limit orders are not guaranteed to execute as the market price may never reach the price level that you have specified. An example would be as follows: you would set your stop at an area like 20,950 and your limit order would be 21,000. Once Bitcoin hits the price of your stop (20,950) then your limit order is placed (buy at 21,000), as long as the price of Bitcoin is below 21,000 your order will execute at the best available price e.g. 20, 960. It is important to leave some room between your stop and limit order as a fast-moving market may move too quickly for your limit order to be placed and execute. For example, if you set both your stop and limit at 21,000 then when your stop hits, your limit order may not execute as the price may already be above your order (21,000).
How many order types do you offer?
Day1x offers multiple Order Types: Market, Limit, Stop and Stop Limit to facilitate your trading experience. Refer to the knowledge base for more information about our trade types.
What are network fees?
Network fees are the fees paid to validators of a blockchain (e.g. miners, stakers) when sending assets on-chain. These fees determine how long it will take for your transaction to be processed. Fees are used to maintain the security of the network as miners and stakers are incentivised (by network fees and block rewards) to not only validate blocks, but to do so in a non-malicious manner.
Do you offer leverage?
Day1x does not offer leveraged trading on crypto at the moment. If you would like to use leveraged derivatives such as CFDs, we refer you to our sister entity, Fusion Markets.
What is an order book?
An order book refers to the list of buy and sell orders for an asset (organised by price). Buy orders are indicated in green, whereas sell orders are indicated in red. Order books reflect real-time data and can also aid in determining how much slippage you may encounter on your trade, as you can see liquidity at different price points.
How do I cancel an order?
You can cancel any Open Orders via the “Open Orders” Tab under Exchange in your account. Refer to orders in our knowledge base for more information.

How do I withdraw funds to a wallet?
To withdraw cryptocurrency from your Day1x Account, you could do so via your Crypto Wallet in the Accounts section.
What's a wallet?
Cryptocurrency wallets are digital tools that store your cryptocurrency holdings and allow you to send and receive funds. They can be software-based (online or mobile apps) or hardware-based (physical devices). There are generally two types of crypto wallets: custody and self-custody. A crypto custody wallet is a wallet that is secured by a third-party such as a bank or exchange. These third parties will usually have extensive security measures and insurance policies to ensure your assets remain safe and secure. You can read about Day1x’s Fort Knox security here. A self-custody wallet is a software or device that is protected by your private key. A self-custody wallet will have two keys: public and private. Your public key is like your address that you can share with others that you want to receive funds from. Your private key is like your password that you can use to send your funds. It is extremely important to not lose your private key. As a self-custody wallet, if you lose your private key and therefore access to your wallet, your funds will be unrecoverable.
Do you accept incoming wallet transfers?
Yes, along with our other payment options (credit cards, bank transfers, etc.), you can also fund your Day1x wallet with cryptocurrencies. Click “receive” on your accounts page and send to your assigned address. Ensure you fill in all relevant details e.g. memo and ref number.
Why was my bank wire withdrawal rejected?
There could be various reasons that your bank wire withdrawal is rejected. This could be associated to insufficient balance in your account, incomplete banking information or if you have reached your daily withdrawal limit. If you have recently updated the security settings in your account, you are subject to a withdrawal freeze for a certain period of time. Please reach out to our support team via live chat, email or phone if you believe there was a mistake.
