Crypto CFDs

What are Cryptocurrencies CFDs?

Crypto CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are financial contracts between a trader and a broker that allow speculation on the price movements of cryptocurrencies without actually owning the underlying digital asset. Traders profit or lose based on the difference between the price of the cryptocurrency when they open the contract and when they close it, and can open both “long” (betting on price increase) and “short” (betting on price decrease) positions.

How Do Crypto CFDs Work?

When trading crypto CFDs, traders are not buying or selling the actual cryptocurrency. Instead, they’re entering into a contract with a broker based on the cryptocurrency’s price. 

What Is a Margin?

If a trader were to trade an ETH CFD with a 20% margin requirement, a position worth $1,000 would require a deposit of $200.  A 20% margin will give 5x leverage; whereas, for example, a 5% margin would give 20x leverage. While trading on margin lowers the cost of opening a trade, it can also be very risky, as it’ll amplify both the trader’s losses and gains, as CFD profits and losses are calculated on the full size of the trade.

Risk Reward Calculator

A Risk–Reward Win Rate Calculator is a tool that helps traders understand the balance between how much they risk on each trade compared to how much they aim to gain, and how often they need to win to stay profitable. It works by combining the size of your average risk (for example, the distance to your stop-loss) with the size of your average reward (the distance to your take-profit). From these inputs, the calculator shows the “win rate” required to break even and how profitable a strategy could be over time.

For instance, if you risk $100 on a trade and aim to make $200, your risk–reward ratio is 1:2. In this case, you only need to win 34% of the time to break even. If the ratio were flipped — risking $200 to make $100 — you would need to win at least 67% of the time just to avoid losses.
