When receiving virtual currency,

① Generate an address (create an account to receive) with a secret key (a PIN number that only you know).

CFD - Contract for Difference

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is a financial instrument that allows individuals to gain exposure to the price movements of an underlying asset without owning the asset itself. Instead of purchasing the asset directly, a CFD is an agreement that reflects the difference between the price at which a position is opened and the price at which it is closed.

When engaging with CFDs, the focus is entirely on price movement. The value of a CFD position is determined by how the price of the underlying asset changes over time. If the price changes between the opening and closing of a position, that difference is reflected in the outcome. Because there is no transfer of ownership, the underlying asset is never physically held.

Example (How a CFD Works)

For example, if the price of an asset is 100 at the time a position is opened, and later moves to 110, the difference of 10 represents the price movement.

Similarly, if the price moves from 100 to 90, the difference of 10 reflects the movement in the opposite direction.

In both cases, the outcome is based entirely on the change in price rather than ownership of the asset.

CFDs are commonly offered across a wide range of financial markets. These typically include foreign exchange (forex), indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, etc. This broad availability allows users to access multiple markets within a single platform environment.

One of the key characteristics of CFDs is that they are derivative products, meaning their value is derived from the price of another asset. As a result, CFDs are influenced by market conditions such as price fluctuations, liquidity, and volatility in the underlying market.

Example (Access to Different Markets)

For instance, a CFD can reflect the price movement of:

• a currency pair such as EUR/USD
• an index such as the S&P 500
• a commodity such as gold

In each case, the CFD mirrors the price changes of the underlying market without requiring ownership of the asset itself.

Contrarian

Contrarian trading is a Forex strategy that favours going against the current market bias in anticipation of a shift in market sentiment. It involves buying a currency when it is weak and selling it when it’s strong.

Correction Phase

A correction phase is usually referred when the market price of an asset declines over 10% from its recent peak. In an uptrend, correction phase is usually followed by a fresh increase.

Country Risk

Country risk is the risk that the currency exchange rate may fluctuate due to the credit worthiness of the country in which it is invested. Countries with stable conditions such as Japan and the United States are said to have low country risk, and countries with unstable domestic conditions such as developing countries are said to have high country risk.

Cross Currency Trade

A cross currency pair is one that consists of a pair of currencies traded in Forex that does not include the U.S. dollar.

 

Cross Order 

Holding ("buy" and "sell") positions of the same brand (commodity) at the same time.

Please note that depending on the currency pair you trade, there is a risk of daily loss due to swap points due to interest rate differences. With Titan FX, it is possible to do cross order transactions within the same account, but these transactions aiming for zero cut between multiple accounts or between other traders (two or more traders) are prohibited.

Crypto CFD

Titan FX's cryptocurrency CFD deposits fiat currency funds as margin (collateral) without holding the actual cryptocurrency, and trades are performed based on the change in the amount when the virtual currency is converted to fiat currency. 
On the MT4 / MT5 stock list, there are descriptions divided into "Crypto Majors" and "Crypto Minors".
