  • Major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum
  • No wallet, keys or exchange account to manage
  • Use stop-loss orders to limit the size of a loss

What it costs to trade.

Crypto CFDs have a spread, and positions held overnight may incur financing. Leverage on crypto CFDs is lower than on forex in many jurisdictions, and some regions restrict them for retail clients. There is no commission on any tier.

One system. The five tiers are both your trading account type and your Premium membership tier. Your total deposit sets your tier. The figure for each tier is the total deposit that tier needs, not the minimum to open an account (the minimum initial deposit is $250). The five tiers start at $25,000 with Rising; the figures below apply from Rising. Elite and Prestige also need a qualification review. There is no commission on any tier. The spreads and swap markups shown are net. Your tier's trading cost discount is already included, so it is never applied on top. Spreads are averages and can widen in fast markets. Swap markup is added to the benchmark rate of the instrument. The platform shows the cost of a trade before you confirm it.
