Crypto Markets .

Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security. The crypto market operates on a decentralized network of computers called a blockchain. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies are not controlled by any central authority, allowing for peer-to-peer transactions across a borderless, transparent ledger.

The cryptocurrency market is unique because it never closes. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This constant availability allows traders to react to news and global events in real-time, regardless of their time zone or the day of the week.

Margin is the amount of a trader’s funds required to open a new position. Margin is estimated based on the size of your trade, which is measured in lots. A standard lot is 100,000 units. We also provide mini lots (10,000 units), micro lots (1,000 units) and nano lots (100 units). The greater the lot, the bigger the margin amount. Margin allows you to trade with leverage, which, in turn, allows you to place trades larger than the amount of your trading capital. Leverage influences the margin amount too.

Leverage is the ability to trade positions larger than the amount of capital you possess. This mechanism allows traders to use extra funds from a broker in order to increase the size of their trades. For example, 1:100 leverage means that a trader who has deposited $1,000 into his or her account can trade with $100,000. Although leverage lets traders increase their trade size and, consequently, potential gains, it magnifies their potential losses putting their capital at risk.
