CFDs
Trade on price moves with leverage, whether prices rise or fall.
A CFD (contract for difference) pays out the difference between the price when you open a position and the price when you close it. You put up margin instead of the full value, so a small move in the market becomes a large move in your account — in both directions.
Long or short
Take a position on rising or on falling prices.
Stops and limits
Set a stop-loss and a take-profit with every order.
Margin in view
Your margin and open risk are shown live, position by position.
Before you trade CFDs
- Understand how leverage works and what a margin call means.
- Decide in advance how much you are prepared to lose on each trade.
- Use a stop-loss on every position.
- Only use money you can afford to lose.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Share of your retail CFD accounts that lose money — a figure you are required to publish. Consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
