BTCUSDPERP gives you exposure to Bitcoin priced in US dollars through a perpetual contract: no delivery date, no rollover and no overnight swap. One lot is one bitcoin, orders are placed from 0.01 lot in steps of 0.01, up to 10 lots per order, and the price moves in steps of 0.1.
The contract stays anchored to the Bitcoin market through funding. At 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC a funding rate is set; positions open at that moment pay or receive position value multiplied by the rate, booked to the account balance as a separate entry. When the perpetual trades above spot, long positions pay and short positions receive; when it trades below, the direction reverses. A position closed before the funding time pays nothing.
The Bitcoin perpetual trades 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with one scheduled break, Saturday from 12:00 to 13:00 platform time (09:00 to 10:00 UTC), reserved for maintenance. Margin, stop loss, take profit and pending orders work exactly as on any other symbol on your MetaTrader 5 account.
