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 derivative 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 take advantage of the future movement of market prices regardless of whether the underlying markets are rising or falling. You have the opportunity to sell and profit from falling prices, or buy and profit from rising prices. Moreover, with our vast variety of markets, you can gain exposure to international assets you may not have had access to before. We offer CFDs on shares, indices, commodities, currencies, cryptocurrencies and ETFs.
