One account, every market
Xblu is a broker. You trade contracts for difference (CFDs) on the price of cryptocurrencies, currency pairs, shares, indices and commodities, with leverage, from one account. You never hold the asset itself: you buy or sell a contract whose result is the difference between the price you opened at and the price you closed at, counted in your account’s currency. Xblu is the counterparty to every trade. There is no order book of other customers behind an order, no token to buy before trading, no wallet to connect and no chain to pick. Money comes in by card or from a crypto wallet of yours, sits on your account, and leaves by bank transfer or in USDC and USDT.The app
Xblu’s own trading app runs in a browser and on a phone, in nine languages. The chart carries your stop loss, take profit and limit levels, the order book sits beside it, and the ticket writes the fee, the spread, the required margin and the liquidation price before you confirm. Live and paper accounts live under one login, and you switch between them from the top of the screen.How a price is made
Crypto is priced from several venues at once, and the reference price is the median of the books that agree, so a wick on one venue does not move your fill or your liquidation. Shares, currency pairs, gold and the instruments priced from a perpetual can rest on one venue, whose price is then the reference. Your fill is that reference plus half the spread, against you. When no fresh price exists for an instrument, during a venue outage for example, an order on it is refused rather than filled on a stale quote.What a trade costs
Three things, four on a short position in a share, the first three shown on the ticket before you confirm:- the spread, half of it when you open and half when you close,
- a commission per side, as a percentage of the notional,
- an overnight swap for every night a position stays open,
- on a short position in a share, a borrow charge each night as well.
