cTrader execution and the underlying crypto asset are not the same thing

The chart above uses the instrument supplied by the connected cTrader broker. Depending on the broker, this may be a CFD or another derivative rather than on-chain ownership of the coin. Before trading, check the contract specification, leverage, financing or swap, minimum volume and trading hours.
