CFD trading example

Profit in rising and falling markets

A CFD (Contract for Difference) allows you to invest in an asset (such as Bitcoin, a currency pair or even a share) without owning the asset outright. If you expect Bitcoin's price to rise, buy a Bitcoin CFD to profit from an increases its market value - this is also known as "going long". If you expect its price to fall, sell a Bitcoin CFD now with a view to buy it back later for less - this is also known as "going short". This ability to go "long" or "short", and profit in rising and falling markets, is unique to CFDs.

You invest $100 in the Bitcoin / USD CFD when Bitcoin is trading at 118.35. If Bitcoin rises to just 118.45, you would be $100 x 0.10 = $10 better off, netting you a 10% return on your investment.

Leverage

CFDs are popular with investors for another reason: leverage, also known as gearing or simply borrowing. Leverage is the process whereby you borrow money from your broker to invest in the market. For example, you could borrow $900 from your broker and invest $100 of your own money to open a $1,000 position. This amounts to leverage of 1:10 because you only invest one tenth of the trade's overall value. You can leverage your Bitcoin trades up to 1:10 with Plus500.com and 1:50 with AvaTrade.com.
