In 2009, the first cryptocurrency Bitcoin came out, creating the world’s first entirely new financial system. Cryptocurrencies, based on blockchain, have emerged as an important new option for exchanging, storing and transacting value.

Digital currencies are becoming less correlated with major market movements, like gold and the Japanese yen, allowing traders to diversify and hedge their investments.

The market capitalization of cryptocurrencies can be limited compared to traditional assets, especially those lesser-known digital currencies (coins). Cryptocurrencies have lower levels of liquidity which can lead to greater volatility, so this needs to be taken into account during the trading process. This is one of the reasons why cryptocurrencies are increasingly being used as part of a diversified portfolio, however, their risk profile should always be considered alongside other investments.

Invest in Stock CFDs on SquaredFinancial

Stocks, also known as shares or equity, are simply the units of (capital) into which the value of a company is divided equally. When a company needs capital, it can initiate a public offering (IPO) and sell its own stock (equity) instead of borrowing (debt). If a company worth 100 million euros issues 50 million shares, each share is worth 2 euros.

The main difference between trading CFDs on stocks and trading stocks is that when you trade CFDs, you do not own the asset or instrument you choose to trade, but you can still benefit if the market moves in your favor, or if the market moves against you. You are disadvantaged. A CFD is a leveraged product, which means that you only need to deposit a fraction of the total value of the trade to open a position.

Go long or short?

If you buy shares in a company and hold them yourself, or through a nominee account, you are tied to the value you bring. However, you can buy CFDs based on individual stocks and go long or short just like any other CFD. For this reason, at SquaredFinancial they offer access to a wide range of CFDs based on individual stocks.

Individual stocks or indices?

Shares can be traded on a single company (single stock) or through an index that tracks multiple companies listed on the same exchange. A single stock may offer better returns, especially if you have deep knowledge of a company or industry (automotive, pharma, technology, etc.), but the risk may be higher. An index tends to be less volatile because it tracks many companies from a range of industries but will provide lower net gains or losses.

Receive dividend

If you hold an open long position in a dividend-paying stock contract, you will be entitled to an amount equal to the number of contracts you held after the close of business on the business day before the ex-dividend date. Conversely, if you hold an open short position in a dividend-paying stock, you will be required to pay an amount based on the number of contracts you held after the close of the business day before the ex-dividend date. This adjustment can be used as a cash adjustment to your MetaTrader 5 trading account.

Focus on earnings

Margin requirements for stock and spot indices may increase up to 5 business days prior to a Corporate Event based on an upcoming corporate report or other corporate action (collectively, “Corporate Events”) and may remain in effect at the Company following a Corporate Event L. During the affected period, the new margin requirements will apply to all new and existing trades. Clients are solely responsible for monitoring the required margin on their account and the available margin before, during, and after the affected period. For the above reasons, clients must understand and accept that this may result in a stop-loss on their account. When trading stock or index, it is important to keep abreast of earnings and dividends for any potential impact on your trades.
