Choosing FP Markets for Australian crypto CFDs
FP Markets may suit Australian traders who already use a specific platform, because its Australian cryptocurrency CFD page lists MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView for crypto. The page confirms the product is a CFD with no ownership of, or rights to, the underlying assets, which is the core distinction between CFD trading and holding coins. Note the market access detail: the page lists 24/5 trading rather than continuous weekend access, which matters if you trade around crypto's weekend price moves. Platform familiarity is a genuine practical factor, but it is separate from cost, and this record does not confirm your all-in crypto expenses.
