    How to trade Bitcoin with us

    With us, you’ll trade on changes in bitcoin’s price using CFDs – a type of leveraged derivative. This means that, when trading, you’ll never take ownership of bitcoin. Instead, you’ll take a position on the market either rising or falling in value.

    Your profit or loss will depend on whether you correctly predicted the direction of movement, how much the market has moved, and the size of your position.

    But, please remember that all trading incurs significant risk. This is only magnified when trading on leverage. Learn more about how to manage your risk.

    Although you can trade CFDs on bitcoin using our award-winning web-based and mobile platforms,9 you can also choose to trade CFDs on bitcoin through MetaTrader 4 and ProRealTime.

    Can I trade bitcoin on the MetaTrader 4 platform?

    What are the bitcoin market hours?

    Bitcoin is traded 24 hours a day, seven days a week on exchanges around the world. However, some hours will see increased volatility and liquidity. This happens, for example, when European, UK and US markets are all getting into their stride for the day.

    Do I need a bitcoin wallet when trading with CFDs?

    No, you won’t need a bitcoin wallet when trading with us. You also won’t have to open an account with an exchange.

    When you trade bitcoin via CFDs, you’re using derivatives to speculate on bitcoin’s price movements, and you never take ownership of actual coins. This means you can go long or short on the cryptocurrency, and the accuracy of your prediction and the size of the market movement will determine your profit or loss.

    However, please remember that CFDs are complex financial instruments that can accrue losses rapidly. Always make sure you understand how they work before trading, and consider whether you can afford the risk of potential monetary loss.
