WHAT ARE CFDs?
• A contract for difference (CFD) is a derivative product which enables you to trade on the price movement of financial instruments
• CFD trading allows you to speculate on both rising and falling prices
• Trade indices (US 30 and Germany 30), stocks or shares (Amazon, Netflix), commodities (Crude Oil and Silver) plus forex and treasuries
• As a CFD is a leveraged product, you only need to deposit a small percentage of the full value of the trade to open a position (known as trading on margin). While trading on margin allows you to magnify your returns, any losses will also be magnified as they are based on the full value of the position
HOW DOES CFD TRADING WORK?
With CFD trading, you never actually own the asset you have chosen to trade, instead you buy or sell a number of units. You buy if you think the price will go up, and sell if you think the price will go down. You can earn a profit from prices moving in your favour, but will make a loss if prices move against you.
