any idea what the liquidity is like? Cant sign up for an account there from the US, but very curious about this platform.

It's a cfd, avatrade makes the market for it. Here is my impression from the demo.

Spreads range from 13-20$ at the current bitcoin prices of around 1,000$ plus there is a rollover fee regardless of whether you buy/sell. There are 2 cfds, the cfd with the 10x leverage expires each Friday.

Not stellar trading conditions when compared to traditional bitcoin exchanges. Anyone tried btc-e or bitfinex leverage and short selling options? Are costs higher compared to outright buying/selling bitcoins with no leverage?

you can just trade it, I think it's a CFD.

Do you actually buy/sell BTC or you just trade the pair?
