#TradfiTradingChallenge
1. Understand the Product Structure
TradFi CFDs (Contracts for Difference) allow you to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Popular pairs include:
Gold XAUUSD
SilverXAGUSD
ForexEURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD
IndicesNAS100, SPX500
CommoditiesXTIUSD (WTI Crude Oil)
2. Choose Appropriate Leverage
Gate TradFi offers multi-tier leverage options (20x to 500x for gold). Select leverage based on your risk tolerance and capital size—higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses.
3. Master Risk Management
Use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses
Never risk more than 1-2% of your capital per trade
Maintain adequate margin to avoid liquidation (margin level ≤ 50% triggers liquidation)
4. Understand Trading Hours
Unlike crypto's 24/7 markets, TradFi has fixed trading sessions aligned with traditional financial markets. Be aware of market closures and overnight fees (swap fees) for positions held across closures.
5. Utilize Cross-Margin Mode
TradFi uses cross-margin only, meaning your entire account balance serves as collateral. Long and short positions can offset each other by lots, providing hedging flexibility.
