FXOpen extends its multi-currency accounts offering by launching trading accounts denominated in Bitcoin (MBT), Litecoin (LTC) and Gold (GLD). Bitcoin and Litecoin are available as account currency when opening Crypto accounts, and Gold is available for ECN and STP accounts.

These accounts have exactly the same benefits and trading conditions as ECN, STP or Crypto accounts denominated in USD or any other currency. The only difference is that Bitcoin, Litecoin and Gold will be used as the “base asset” to display balance, profit and other parameters of your trading account in MetaTrader 4 (MT4).

For your convenience, we have used smaller, “fractional” values, comparable to 1 USD or 1 EURO, as units of the base asset for these accounts:

    1 GLD – 0.001 troy ounce (equal to approx. 0.03 grams of gold) for Gold-based accounts;
    1 MBT – (1 milli-bitcoin) or 0.001 BTC – for Bitcoin accounts;
    1 LTC – for Litecoin accounts.

 

FXOpen is the first Forex broker to offer clients MT4 accounts denominated in Bitcoin and Litecoin. Coupled with direct BTC and LTC deposits, these accounts make up the industry’s unique offering, allowing clients to deposit, trade and withdraw profit with no conversion costs and minimal commission (only 0.001 BTC for withdrawals).

Gold, unlike currencies, is not affected by inflation and is more resistant to price fluctuations. This is one of the reasons why gold has shown a strong “bullish” trend over many years. By storing your funds in a Gold-based trading account, you are more likely to secure your funds against economic and political instability, as demand for gold is known to rise in a crisis economy.

Open a Gold-based MT4 account via MyFXOpen > Add New Account > ECN or STP and select GLD in the ‘account currency’ drop-down list.

Open a BTC or LTC-based MT4 trading account via MyFXOpen > Add new account > Crypto and select MBT or LTC as ‘account currency’.

so anybody deposited crypto there?

they don't mention how the conversion is down

might be BTC-E rate, but who knows

There is no conversion...
You deposit coins, you have coins to trade...
You deposit money, you have money to trade...
Just like every other trade-engine... Except that is more professional than the exchanges that normally trade coins. (and secure, and reliable, and trusted)

You want money, you trade your coins there, for whatever you set for a price. If someone wants it, they buy it, and you get your money.

It is it's own exchange. They do not buy and sell coins. You do that, there.

The big difference is... once you have money, you can use that on any other conversion pairs. (If they have multiple pairs for your coin, you have more than money to trade for.)

The only difference is, in forex, they use pip-spreads...
(example only)
If the price is $600 for 1BTC... you pay $605, if you instantly try to sell, it sells for $595...
Thus, You have to wait for the price to go up $5 from $605 to $610. Then if you sell, you would get $605 (Which is -$5 under the price), thus the pip-spread would be $5 there.

Same here in the exchange, but here they charge a flat percentage to exchange. If they charge 0.5% and that is $5, you would have to wait for the price to go up $10, to break-even. (Because they charge a percentage both ways on these exchanges.)

Also note... Forex sometimes has "variable pips"... When the market is going crazy, they make the spread wider, harder to trade... so you have to wait for the market to settle-down, or hope you get a good spread covered in the rise/fall... depending what you are going for.

so if BTC-E's MT4-server goes down like it did when many where trapped in a short, we would also be trapped using FXOpen?
