Stop trading through a browser tab. BitMEX Desktop connects directly to the matching engine — faster order entry, real charting, and a workspace that stays where you left it.
One installer. No subscription. Sign in with your existing BitMEX account and you're trading in under a minute.
Native Windows application. Hardware-accelerated rendering, system tray support, Windows Hello biometric login, and multi-monitor workspace layouts.
The web platform is fine. The desktop app is better. Here's what changes when you drop the browser.
Direct WebSocket connection with no browser overhead. Order submissions reach the matching engine measurably faster — matters when you're scalping.
Full TradingView integration — 100+ indicators, Pine Script, multi-timeframe, saved templates. Layouts persist between sessions without re-configuring.
Jump between your main account and sub-accounts without logging out. Useful if you're running separate strategies or managing a fund.
Drag, resize, and dock panels however you want. Save multiple layouts and switch between them. Works properly across two or three monitors.
Windows toast notifications for fills, liquidation warnings, price alerts, and funding rate changes. Fires even when the window is minimised.
Manage API keys, test REST calls, and monitor live WebSocket streams from inside the app. Connect your bots without leaving the interface.
BitMEX Desktop runs on any reasonably modern Windows machine. The recommended specs are for traders running multiple monitors or heavy chart layouts.
BitMEX has been running since 2014 without a single security breach resulting in user fund loss. The desktop app connects to the same infrastructure — nothing changes on the security side.
