CFD trading example

Here is an example of how to trade contracts for difference, using the BTC Market:

BTC - $30,150 (1h) 5x | $100

The expiration time for the trade is 1 hour. Leverage - 5x. Amount - $100. Simply put, this crypto contract is asking you: how much of the difference can you earn between the open price and the close price??

In this case, let’s say you're bullish.

If so, then there are two possible outcomes:

  1. Let's say the close price is $32,250 after 1 hour. The open price was $30,150. According to the formula below, you get the $134.82 payout (the difference is +34.82%). Your profit is $34.82

  2. Let's say the close price is $29,250 after 1 hour. The open price was $30,150. According to the formula below, you get the $85.08 payout (the difference is -14.92%). Your loss is $14.92

The difference is calculated by the formula:

(BA)/A100Х(B-A)/A*100 *Х

A - the open price

B - the close price

X - leverage
