Unlike most financial instruments we offer such as currency pairs and indices, cryptocurrencies can be traded and have multiple recesses (Closure) on the weekend.
During recess or when markets are closed modifications cannot be made to existing positions or opening new positions.
Commission on trading Crypto
Commission for trading crypto is 0.03% of the notional value of the trade on all account types. For example, you want to open a 0.01 order of Bitcoin at a price 6000:
- Bitcoin Price = 66000
- Contract Size = 1
- Leverage = 500
- Tier Comm = 0.03%
- Volume = 0.01
Commission = Volume x Contract Size x %Tier Commission x Price x 2 =
0.01 * 1 * 0.03/100 * 66000 * 2 = 0.396 USD
Leverage and Margin Requirements for Crypto
We offer floating leverage for cryptocurrency trading, which allows you to control larger positions with a smaller initial investment. Be aware that leverage trading involves increased risk, and margin requirements can vary depending on the cryptocurrency you choose to trade.
