CFD Trading
A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is an agreement between two parties to exchange the difference between the opening price and closing price of a contract.
CFDs are derivatives products that allow you to trade on live market price movements without actually owning the underlying instrument on which your contract is based. You can use CFDs to speculate on the future movement of market prices regardless of whether the underlying markets are rising or falling. You can go short (sell), allowing you to profit from falling prices, or hedge your portfolio to offset any potential loss in value of your physical investments. Moreover, with over 12,000 markets to trade, you can gain exposure to markets you may not have had access to before.
CFDs are leveraged products, enabling you to trade by paying just a small fraction of the total value of the contract. This means you can potentially magnify your return on investment. Remember, however, that higher leverage can result in losses that could exceed your initial deposit. In conventional dealing, you would have to pay your broker the total value of the shares you wish to purchase. Say you wished to purchase 10,000 Barclays shares and the current value of its shares is 260 cents. You would have to pay the total value of the shares purchased, i.e. 26,000 Euros (10,000 x 260 cents). With CFD trading, however, you only have to deposit a small percentage of the total trade value whilst maintaining the same level of exposure.
