WAYS TO TRADE BITCOIN

CFD products are designed to give market exposure without ever owning the underlying.

A Bitcoin CFD enables you to trade a contract based on prices in the underlying market.

It is margin product, meaning you can put down an initial deposit and still gain exposure of a much larger position. This can magnify profits as well as losses.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCE BITCOIN’S PRICE?

Bitcoin’s volatility makes the cryptocurrency an attractive opportunity as well as a risky market to speculate on.

Its price can shift significantly and suddenly. Volatility in Bitcoin’s price is driven by several external factors:

  • Supply
  • Market Cap
  • Bad Press
  • Advance in blockchain technology
  • Key events

BITCOIN CFD EXAMPLE

You’re interested in trading a bitcoin via a CFD.

Our current price is 10,000 to sell bitcoin, or 10,020 to buy it.

You believe that bitcoin’s price will fall against the dollar, so you sell 1 contract at 10,000 (equivalent to selling 5 bitcoins at €10,000).

The bitcoin price falls and now price is 9,880/9,900.

You decide to take profit and close your position by buying at 9,900.

$10,000 – $9,900 = $100 move or 100 points. Your profit is $500.

If the bitcoin price moved higher by 100 points instead, your loss would be $500.
