We offer various trading tools that can be used as risk management strategies when trading in volatile markets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
You can use a 'Take Profit' order to 'lock in' your potential profits - automatically close your trade at a preset price.
You can use a 'Stop Loss' order to reduce or prevent larger losses - automatically close your trade at a preset price.
Another option is to use a 'Trailing Stop' order, designed to protect profits by allowing the position to remain open as long as the price moves in your favor, but closing the trade once the price changes direction by a preset number of points.
Please note that these stop orders do not guarantee that your position will be closed at the exact price you specified. If the price suddenly gaps or slides above or below your stop level, your position may be closed at the next available price, which may differ from your set price. This is known as 'Slippage'.
If you want to ensure your trade is closed at the exact set price, without the risk of slippage, you can set a 'Guaranteed Stop' order. This special order requires payment of an additional premium through the buy/sell spread.

Bitcoin and/or cryptocurrencies, forex and stocks are three different asset classes with distinct characteristics, such as risk-return profile, liquidity, and volatility. When trading these asset classes as CFDs, the main difference between them lies in the leverage ratio.
COMEX offers leverage up to 1:2 for trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, meaning any potential profits or losses are multiplied.
Forex CFDs offer leverage up to 1:20.
Stock CFDs offer leverage of 1:10.

Bitcoin is a popular digital currency (also known as cryptocurrency or crypto), invented in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto." It is the most widely used original cryptocurrency in circulation.
Bitcoin differs from existing payment systems that rely on centralized payment processors; it is powered by an encrypted peer-to-peer network that does not depend on intermediaries like banks or other financial institutions.
Investors wanting to invest in Bitcoin typically need to first install a digital wallet - a smartphone app or computer-based software that allows users to purchase Bitcoin online. Physical digital Bitcoin cannot be sold short.
However, COMEX offers an alternative, easier-to-execute solution for trading Bitcoin CFDs (via the Bitcoin/USD pair) through an online application.
Trading on the COMEX app can be done in both directions (buy or sell) and ensures high liquidity through the use of real-time price feeds from major Bitcoin exchanges.
COMEX' Bitcoin CFDs are available for trading 24/7, as well as on weekends (one hour on Sundays).
