CFD trading is the method of speculating on the underlying price of an asset – like shares, indices, commodities, forex and more – on a trading platform like ours.
A CFD – short for ‘contract for difference’ – is the type of derivative that enables you to trade the price movements of these financial markets with us. With this form of trading, you don’t own the underlying asset – you’re only getting exposure to its price movements.
We offer over 18,000+ markets for you to speculate on with CFDs, including shares, indices, forex, commodities and more. Ready to trade CFDs? Practise on a demo, or open an account to get started.
