What is Bitcoin halving?
On May 12, 2020, the number of Bitcoins paid as a reward for mining new blocks was halved from 12.5 Bitcoins per block to 6.25 Bitcoins per block.
These halvings only happen once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly once every four years, making this a rare trading opportunity that’s not to be missed!
How could it affect your trading? Simply, this has reduced the supply of new Bitcoins, which means we’re expecting high volatility. In fact, on May 10, BTCUSD had a huge 10% drop in price, following an increase of over $6,000 since its March 13 low! What will happen next? While no one can predict it for sure, we can look at historical data, and history points to a potential price increase. In fact, after 2016’s halving, the price of Bitcoin soared from less than $1,000 per Bitcoin to almost $20,000 in less than 12 months!

Bitcoin halving glossary
CFD: CFD stands for `Contract for Difference`, and it is an instrument that allows you to trade on how the price of an asset (like Bitcoin) might change without having to buy the asset itself.
Let’s say you think the price of Bitcoin is going to increase in comparison to the US dollar. You could open a Buy trade on the BTCUSD, which tracks the price of Bitcoins in US dollars. If, when you open your trade, the price of Bitcoin is $8,500, and then it increases to $9,000, you could close your trade with a profit of $500 (minus any trading costs). If the price decreased to $8,250, though, then you would make a loss of $250.
CFDs allow you to make these trades without having to buy Bitcoins themselves, all from your phone or computer.
Leverage: Leverage allows you to trade relatively large asset values with a small deposit. 1:2 leverage means that for every Euro you invest, you can trade 2 Euros of the underlying asset (so you need account equity, or margin, of 50% of your trade value).
Leverage potentially helps traders achieve higher profits in the market, however, the same applies to losses. Traders risk losing their deposit faster when using leverage, so use it wisely!
Margin: The amount you are required to have in your trading account in relation to your trade size. E.g. A financial instrument that allows leverage of 1:2 requires a margin of 50%. An instrument that allows leverage of 1:10 requires a margin of 10%.
MetaTrader: MetaTrader is software that you can use to trade the financial markets. It is available as a desktop program, an app for iOS and Android, and via the browser-based WebTrader.
WebTrader: The browser-based version of the MetaTrader trading platform.
