Cryptocurrencies

You believe that the price of ether USD will rise and want to benefit from that movement by buying 10 CFDs on Ether USD. Let us assume that the current price of 1 CFD is $400.

The margin on Ether USD is 50% – which means that you have to pay half (50%) of the trade value of $4000 (10 CFDs x $400), i.e. $2,000: 50% x $4,000 = $2,000.

Let’s say you turn out to be right and the price of Ether USD rises by $10 to $410. In such a case, by closing your position you will realise a profit of $100 (10 х $10).

If, instead of rising, the price of Ether USD falls by $10, you will suffer a loss of $100 (10 x $10).

Yes, you can. With Profit Motion Club you can short cryptocurrencies (i.e. take short positions) and thus benefit from their falling prices.

With hundreds of cryptocurrencies currently available on an ever-growing market, it was a challenge to choose which of them to include in our CFD offering. So besides the obvious leaders, Bitcoin and Ether, we chose six additional digital currencies, applying criteria such as popularity among traders, market capitalisation and, last but not least, potential for diverse real-world applications.

No, with Profit Motion Сlub you trade CFDs (Contracts for Difference) on cryptocurrencies, so the result is formed from their price changes. You do not own actual units of cryptocurrency.

• Price volatility: The value of cryptocurrencies (and hence their respective CFDs) is extremely volatile. They are vulnerable to sharp price changes due to unexpected events or changes in market sentiment.
• Leverage: Leverage can increase both your losses and profits, and can place you at risk of losing more than your initial investment.
• Costs: Costs tend to be higher than for our other CFD markets. These include the spread (the difference between the prices at which we offer to buy or sell a CFD position) and interest on margin.
• Price transparency: When compared with regulated currencies, cryptocurrencies (and their respective CFDs) can experience more significant variations in the pricing.

You may come across a thousand definitions but, generally speaking, cryptocurrencies are a decentralised means of making payments. It is decentralised because they are not emitted or governed by a single country – rather, they are supported by thousands of ‘mining’ servers around the world. The job of those servers is to build the cryptocurrencies’ structure by processing the records of ongoing transactions.

The value of cryptocurrencies is constantly increasing or decreasing – and their volatility makes them attractive trading instruments.
