Advantages of online CFD trading over Stock trading:

  • CFDs can be short sold to the investor's advantage on downward price movements, or to offset risk by hedging current stock positions
  • Leverage online CFD trading up to 20 times by trading on margin and assessing the increased risk
  • CFD prices stream in real-time, providing instant trade executions and industry-leading liquidity
  • Index Tracking CFDs make stock investing easy, offering access to an entire stock market index which can be traded long or short with a single click
