BTCUSD
Bitcoin vs US Dollar. Bitcoin trades around the clock, including weekends, which makes it the one instrument here with no rollover gap to trade around. The trade-off is a spread an order of magnitude wider than forex and violent moves at hours when nothing else is open.

Before you trade it
Three things specific to this instrument
- A strategy tuned for gold will not transfer: scale every distance by the instrument’s own spread, not by a fixed ratio.
- Weekend liquidity is thin and spreads roughly double. Size accordingly or stand aside.
- Both swap directions are negative here. Multi-day holds carry a real cost.
