Once you have opened your account and chosen your platform with IG, you no need to own a digital wallet. And you can start trading with cryptocurrency straight away.
Whether you have chosen to trade bitcoin, either bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.All you want to do is you need to open the deal ticket for your selected market, and you will see both buy and sell listed prices. You will be able to choose the position size and then select buy to open a long position and sell to open a short position. Remember, once your trade hits a certain level, you can add stops or limits to close the trade and protect from unnecessary risks.
In the section of the dealing platform, you can monitor the profit or loss of your position in the open positions. And when you have determined that it is the right time to close your position, you need to put an equal trade in the opposite directions.
