CFD trading is a way to speculate on the underlying price of assets such as shares, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, forex and more on a trading platform like ours. CFDs (short for Contract for Difference) are derivatives that allow you to trade with us on the price movements of these financial markets.
With this form of trading, you don’t own the underlying asset – you simply gain exposure to its price movements.
We offer over 18,000* markets for you to speculate on using CFDs, including shares, indices, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities and more.
Below is a detailed explanation of some of the key features of CFDs and CFD trading.
When trading CFDs, you are predicting whether the price of an asset will rise or fall. If you think the price of an asset will rise, you ‘buy’ (go long); if you think the price will fall, you ‘sell’ (go short). The outcome of your predictions will determine whether you make a profit or a loss.
It is important to note that both ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ can result in losses, so you should make sure you understand how CFDs work before opening a position. You should also take steps to manage your risk.
To open a long CFD position on our platform you need to select 'Buy' on your trade ticket, to open a short position you need to select 'Sell'.
