Hello friends of Crypto academy, today I bring you this week's task from professor @ kouba01, which will explain a little about CFDs and other points developed in the task. Let us begin!
━━━━━━✧⊕✧━━━━━━━━━━━━✧⊕✧━━━━━━━━━━
Primera Pregunta / First question
Qué es un CFD de criptomonedas / What is a cryptocurrency CFD?
CFD stands for Contract for Difference. It is an adjustment by which two parties agree to exchange the difference between the type of entry price and the exit price of the asset on which the CFD has been established. It is based on taking advantage of the price variations of a wide variety of listed assets without the need to buy them, which can cause a profit or loss margin based on the value of the asset over time until the contract ends. Thanks to CFDs, investors have the opportunity to trade different types of financial products without owning them, such as indices, stocks, etc.
CFDs are leveraged, what do you mean by Leveraged? It means that you only need to deposit a small percentage of the total value of the operation that you want to carry out in order to have a position, which is called the margin, which in trading means that you can maximize your profitability, but you can also run the risk of that your losses will be multiplied based on the total value of your position in the CFD.

Segunda Pregunta /Question Two
¿Cómo sé si los CFD de criptomonedas son adecuados para mi estrategia comercial? / How do I determine if cryptocurrency CFDs are suitable for my trading strategy?
- Debemos elegir un instrumento financiero en el que trabajar, es importante elegir el tipo de instrumento en el que queramos invertir.
- El inversor debe elegir si puede operar sus activos en un periodo en largo o corto plazo, es decir, comprar o vender.
- Debemos evaluar el tipo de riesgo que corremos al realizar estos tipos de transacciones, para ellos debemos tenemos que seleccionar el stop loss y así evitar mayores pérdidas que las establecidas.
- Tenemos que tener un control de las operaciones abiertas para así poder corregir la posición del mercado, esto depende mucho si el mercado no va en la dirección que no habíamos previsto.
- We must choose a financial instrument in which to work, it is important to choose the type of instrument in which we want to invest.
- The investor must choose whether he can operate his assets in a long or short term, that is, buy or sell.
- We must evaluate the type of risk we run when making these types of transactions, for them we must select the stop loss and thus avoid greater losses than those established.
- We have to have a control of the open operations in order to correct the market position, this depends a lot if the market does not go in the direction that we had not anticipated.

Tercera Pregunta / Third Question
¿Son los CFD productos financieros riesgosos? / Are CFDs risky financial products?
The CFD carries a high level of risk for your capital unlike other more traditional types of investment, since prices can move quickly against you. They may not be suitable for all investors who are starting in this field, so it is highly recommended that you do not do any type of operation before understanding and analyzing the risks involved.
They are complex instruments and are related to a high risk of being able to lose your capital quickly due to the use of leverage, which is why they are considered to be inappropriate for some investors since they require constant monitoring of the investment. It is your sole responsibility to decide whether investing in CFDs suits your needs as an investor and whether it is compatible with your risk profile.

Cuarta Pregunta / Fourth question
¿Todos los brokers ofrecen CFD de criptomonedas? / Do all brokers offer cryptocurrency CFDs?
Not all brokers offer cryptocurrency CFDs as an intermediary is not always needed to get in the way to execute a cryptocurrency transaction between the seller and the buyer, which makes it possible to trade without CFDs.

Quinta Pregunta / Fifth question
