UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

Different markets. Different approaches.

Cryptocurrency trading can involve different instruments and execution methods. Understand the differences before choosing an approach.

01

Spot Trading

Buy or sell cryptocurrency at current market prices or specified limit prices. In conventional spot trading, ownership of the purchased asset is transferred according to the venue's rules.

DIRECT ASSET TRADING
02

Derivatives Trading

Trade contracts whose value is linked to an underlying cryptocurrency. Futures and perpetual contracts may involve leverage, funding costs, liquidation, and losses exceeding expectations.

ADVANCED RISK
03

Demo Trading

Practice trading decisions in a simulated environment when a demo facility is available. Simulated execution and results may differ significantly from live-market conditions.

SIMULATED PRACTICE
04

Copy Trading

Replicate selected trading strategies through a supported copy-trading service. Results can differ because of execution timing, fees, available liquidity, and allocation rules.

STRATEGY REPLICATION

A MORE STRUCTURED APPROACH

Build a process before placing a trade.

A trading tool is most useful when it supports a defined decision-making process. Consider these steps before entering a position.

Explore Trading Education
01

Study the market

Review price action, volume, volatility, and the relevant trading timeframe.

02

Define your trade

Identify a potential entry, an exit condition, and the reasons for the trade.

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION

Understand the risk before you trade.

Cryptocurrency markets can experience substantial price fluctuations, limited liquidity, technical disruptions, and unexpected market events. Leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Stop-loss orders do not guarantee a specific execution price, and technical indicators cannot reliably predict every market movement.
