Fortifying Your Assets with Institutional-Grade Security
Multi-Factor Authentication and Beyond
For professional traders, security is paramount. Your login is fortified by our mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA). Unlike SMS-based verification, which is vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks, we strongly recommend and enforce the use of time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) from an authenticator app. This method ensures that the authentication code is generated on a device you physically control, making it virtually immune to interception over the network.
Our security framework extends far beyond the login prompt. We employ a continuous authentication model that analyzes your behavior, device fingerprint, and network location in real-time. This sophisticated system can detect anomalies, such as a login attempt from a new device or an unusual geographic location, and automatically trigger additional verification steps. This proactive approach ensures that unauthorized access is not only difficult but is also detected and thwarted before any malicious activity can occur.
Furthermore, for API users and high-volume traders, we offer advanced controls like IP whitelisting. This feature allows you to restrict API access to only a pre-approved set of IP addresses, creating an impenetrable barrier against unauthorized external access. For cryptocurrency withdrawals, our address whitelisting function lets you pre-approve specific wallet addresses, making it impossible for a compromised account to send funds to an unlisted destination.
Understanding Our Security Infrastructure
The security of your funds on Coinbase Pro is underpinned by our commitment to cryptographic best practices and robust, third-party audits. We store 98% of customer cryptocurrencies in offline cold storage. These funds are distributed across various geographically dispersed vaults, with physical security and constant monitoring. The remaining 2% of assets are held in online hot wallets, which are fully insured against loss from a breach.
Your personal data and account information are protected with AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by leading financial institutions. This data is encrypted both in transit (using TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest on our secure, cloud-based servers. Our cybersecurity team operates a 24/7 security operations center, leveraging intrusion detection systems and firewalls to continuously monitor for and respond to potential threats. Our proactive bug bounty program invites independent security researchers to test our defenses, ensuring we are constantly evolving to stay ahead of sophisticated cyberattacks.
For your fiat currency, all USD balances held with Coinbase are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per user. This ensures that even in the unlikely event of a company failure, your cash is protected. Our adherence to these rigorous security standards and regulatory compliance frameworks provides you with the peace of mind to focus on your trading strategies.
Beyond the Basics: A Suite of Tools for Strategic Execution
Advanced Order Types and Execution
Coinbase Pro offers a range of order types that go beyond simple market orders, giving you granular control over your trades.
- **Limit Orders:** A limit order allows you to specify the maximum price you are willing to pay or the minimum price you are willing to receive. This ensures your trade is executed at a price you are comfortable with or better. It is a fundamental tool for planned entries and exits.
- **Stop-Limit Orders:** This powerful risk management tool combines a stop price with a limit price. When the asset’s price hits the stop price, it triggers a limit order to be placed at the specified limit price. It’s perfect for protecting profits or limiting losses in volatile markets.
- **Trailing Stop Orders:** Designed to lock in profits while allowing a position to run, a trailing stop order sets the stop price at a fixed percentage or dollar amount below the market price. As the price rises, the stop price automatically adjusts, but if the price falls, the stop price stays in place, triggering a sell order to protect your gains.
Market Intelligence and Analytics
Effective trading is data-driven. Once logged in, you'll have access to a wealth of real-time market data.
- **Real-Time Order Books:** View a live feed of all buy and sell orders for a given trading pair. This provides critical insight into market depth and liquidity, helping you identify potential support and resistance levels.
- **Advanced Charting:** Our integrated charting tools allow for technical analysis with a full range of indicators, drawing tools, and customizable timeframes. Analyze historical price data, identify trends, and backtest your strategies directly on the platform.
- **Trading History and Analytics:** Access your complete trading history, view your profit and loss, and generate reports for tax purposes. These tools provide a comprehensive overview of your performance, allowing you to refine your trading strategies with precision.
