CRYPTO Trading Example

The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows:

Opening Price

1 BTCUSD x 10,499 = 10,499 USD

Closing Price

1 BTCUSD x 8,905.00 = 8,905.00 USD

Gross Profit on Trade USD

$1,594.00 USD

Opening the position

The price of the Bitcoin (BTCUSD) CFD against the US Dollar is 10,499 bid /10,522 ask. You would like to sell 1 BTCUSD coin at 10,499 bid price. (1 lot = 1 cryptocurrency coin, except for XRPUSD which is 100 crypto currency).

Closing the position

Two months later, Bitcoin CFD has decreased to an ask price of 8,905.00 USD. Since you took a short position, you are in profit and would like to take your profit by closing the position at 8,905.00 USD ask price.

Your questions, answered.

What does ECN mean? Right Arrow

Electronic Communications Networks or ‘ECNs’ are off-exchange execution venues which allow market participants to trade with a range of counterparties anonymously. They are the main trading venues for OTC markets such as Foreign Exchange and Metals.

This basically means ECNs provide the technology and venue for price makers aka ‘liquidity providers’ to distribute their liquidity. Price takers (traders) can see these prices and execute trades against them. The ECN is therefore responsible for prices/quotes and the execution of orders.

See our ECN page for a detailed overview of the Global Prime ECN offering.

What are cryptocurrencies? Right Arrow

When you trade cryptocurrencies, you are trading digital currency. This includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. Cryptocurrencies are intended to work just like regular currency. This means that you can use it to buy products and services, or trade it for other currencies. The major advantage that cryptocurrency users, owners, and creators tout is that it is immune to government intervention or the creation of "new" money.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, and Ethereum are based on a blockchain, and they exist without the aid of Ethereum, which is a type of ledger that keeps track of transactions.

Is Crypto CFD trading like Forex? Right Arrow

Yes, in a nutshell. Global Prime allows you to exchange cryptocurrencies as pairs against the US dollar, which is essentially cryptocurrency trading. In the most basic terms, all traders aim to acquire an asset at a low price and sell it for a higher value. Of course, this does not take into account volatility, market circumstances, margin demands, and other factors.

Do I need a crypto wallet to trade? Right Arrow

No, you only need to create a Global Prime account and submit your KYC (i.e. identification verification) information. A cryptocurrency account is different from a wallet. A wallet stores your cryptocurrency, but if you lose it or can't get into it, you're out of luck. But with a cryptocurrency account, you don't have to worry about that. You do not need to sign up with a cryptocurrency exchange to trade cryptocurrency with Global Prime.

What is an ECN? Right Arrow

An ECN broker provides a market for its clients to trade. This means it streams quotes from participants of the ECN and matches orders against these. It is therefore like a virtual exchange where trades and risk are transferred among participants of the ECN rather than being internalised by the broker.
