Q: How can I close or reduce an existing Cryptocurrency CFD position?

To close or reduce a position, select the red ‘ Close Out ’ X to bring up an order ticket. To close ‘ All ’ trades in a specific product select ‘ X ’ on the aggregate row, or to close an individual trade select ‘X’ on the individual position row. To partially close a position, you will need to reduce the ‘Size’ of the trade. The wording at the bottom of the ticket will change to indicate that you are reducing your position rather than closing it.

Frequently asked questions

What are cryptocurrencies?

A cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency created from code that functions outside of traditional banking and government systems. You can read more about cryptocurrencies here.

What cryptocurrency CFDs can I trade?

You can trade CFDs on a range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin/USD, Ethereum/USD, Litecoin/USD, XRP/USD and meme coins such as TRUMP/USD. View the full list of cryptocurrencies available to trade here. 

You can view the full list of cryptocurrencies available to trade on the platform under Products, then Crypto.

Do I need a wallet to trade cryptocurrency CFDs?

No. A cryptocurrency wallet is used to store and manage cryptocurrencies directly. When you trade cryptocurrency CFDs, you do not buy or hold the underlying cryptocurrency. Instead, you trade on the price movement of the cryptocurrency through your CMC Markets account, so you do not need a digital wallet.

Do you offer weekend support?

For any weekend cryptocurrencies support enquiries please contact the team via the chat function in your Next Generation trading platform, or call us on 0800 26 26 27. If you are trading cryptocurrencies on a weekend via MT4 and require support, please access this through your customer hub.

What are the trading hours for crypto on the Next Generation platform?

Cryptocurrency CFDs are available to trade 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to occasional maintenance or downtime.

How can I close or reduce an existing Cryptocurrency CFD position?

To close or reduce a position, select the red ‘Close Out’ X to bring up an order ticket. To close ‘All’ trades in a specific product select ‘X’ on the aggregate row, or to close an individual trade select ‘X’ on the individual position row. To partially close a position, you will need to reduce the ‘Size’ of the trade. The wording at the bottom of the ticket will change to indicate that you are reducing your position rather than closing it.

What are blockchain forks?

Forks occur when the software of different miners disagree over the best way forward for the currency. It’s up to miners to decide which blockchain to continue using. If there isn’t a unanimous decision, this can result in the creation of two versions of the blockchain. There can be periods of increased price volatility around such events. You can read more on blockchain forks here.

How do blockchain forks affect my account?

The price of CMC Markets’ cryptocurrency CFDs is based on the underlying market. They are made available to us by the exchanges and market-makers with which we trade. In the event of a hard fork, CMC Markets will generally follow the blockchain that has the majority consensus of cryptocurrency users. We reserve the right to determine which cryptocurrency unit has the majority consensus.
