How crypto CFDs work on SelfMSF, what they cost and the risks to understand before you trade.
Crypto CFD trading lets you take a position on the price of a cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ether, without buying the coin itself. A CFD, or contract for difference, pays out the difference in price between when you open and close your position, as a gain or a loss. On SelfMSF, these positions sit in the same account as your other markets.
No. On SelfMSF, you’re trading on the price movement only, and no coins are bought, held or transferred in your name. That means you don’t need a wallet, private keys or an exchange account. It also means you can’t withdraw coins or use them on a blockchain, because your position is a contract with SelfMSF.
Yes. You can open a sell position, also called going short, if you expect a coin’s price to fall, as well as a buy position if you expect it to rise. Some traders also use short positions to offset part of the risk on coins they hold elsewhere. A move against your position results in a loss either way.
Crypto CFDs may be available on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether and other digital assets. The selection depends on the provider and your location. Each instrument has its own trading conditions, including spreads, margin requirements and trading hours.
Prices follow the underlying crypto markets, which can move several percent in a day on regulation news, large flows into or out of crypto funds or problems at a major exchange. Prices can also gap, jumping to a new level without trading in between, which means a stop loss may close your position at a worse price than the one you set.
Cryptocurrency markets operate around the clock, but Crypto CFD trading hours depend on the provider and instrument. Trading may include scheduled breaks or weekend restrictions. Prices can change while CFD trading is unavailable, creating a risk of gaps when trading resumes.
Trading costs may include spreads, commissions and overnight financing charges, depending on the provider and instrument. Costs can vary with market conditions and how long a position remains open. Review the applicable trading terms before placing a trade.
Leverage lets you open a larger position with a smaller deposit, called margin. Crypto leverage is usually much lower than on forex, and in many regions rules cap it for retail traders. Leverage increases both gains and losses, and in a volatile market a sharp move can use up your margin quickly
