About BTCUSD
Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency and trades 24/7. Its volatility creates opportunities every day of the week, including weekends, when traditional markets are closed.
Liquidity peaks when the US market is open; macro data (CPI, FOMC) and ETF flows move it strongly. Weekends are thinner but can be volatile.
How to size a BTCUSD position
Position size = risk in dollars ÷ (stop distance × value per unit). Example on a $100,000 account risking 1% ($1,000) with a $1,200 stop: 0.83 lots, which risks about $996.
The order panel has a built-in risk calculator: enter your % risk and your stop loss and it sizes the position for you.
