Why Trade Cryptocurrencies with MetaFX?

Start Small

Control and scale your position sizes with small contract sizes. One contract of BTCUSD at MetaFX is equivalent to 1% of the underlying Bitcoin price.

Leverage

Trade the most popular cryptocurrencies with 100:1 leverage (1% margin). However, remember that trading on margin is risky as it can significantly increase your losses as well.

Short Trading

CFD traders can go long or short with a simple click of a button, and speculate on both the rise and fall of Cryptos.

Enhanced Execution

MetaFX's Enhanced CFD Execution means you trade without minimum stop distances on most products, including BTC, LTC and ETH. Most strategies welcome.

No Fussing With Crypto Wallets Or Hardware Wallets

If you buy and sell physical cryptocurrencies you need to make a decision on whether or not you leave your physical cryptocurrencies with your provider. At MetaFX, you are only betting on the price of the underlying crypto, without having to worry about the safe-keeping of the actual cryptocurrency.

Lower Transaction Costs

Trade commission free with no exchange fees—your transaction cost is the spread.

What are the costs of trading?

When trading Crypto CFDs with MetaFX, trading costs are included in the spread and there are no extra commission fees charged when opening or closing positions and unlike many other brokers there are no minimum commission levels, so at MetaFX you are able to avoid the extra costs of placing smaller trades.

The spread costs can easily be calculated on the Trading Station platform, as you can see the real-time spreads and pip costs (in your account denomination) before you enter any trade. To calculate the spread cost in the currency of your account:

(Pip Cost) x (Number of Contracts) x (Spread) = Total Transaction Cost

Can I hold my positions long term?

As long as there is sufficient margin in your account, you can hold your position indefinitely.

Any positions held past 5pm EST may be subject to a "financing charge" which reflects in an MetaFX account as "rollover." Visit our CFD Product guide for more information.
