Markets · Contracts for Difference
A CFD tracks the price of an index, commodity or share, so you can trade its moves in either direction without owning the asset itself. Use it to act on a view or to offset risk elsewhere in your portfolio.
Major US and European benchmark indices. Trade the direction of a whole market in a single position.
Oil and other energies. Follow supply shocks and macro news without dealing with futures expiries.
Well-known listed companies. Buy or sell on earnings and news without owning or settling the shares.
Sell first if you expect a fall. Opening a short is as simple as opening a long.
You put up a fraction of the position size as margin. That frees up capital, but it also magnifies losses — so size positions with care.
Offset a specific exposure for a few days or weeks without selling the investments you hold elsewhere.
CFDs are leveraged instruments. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses; you can lose more than your initial deposit if your account drops below the required margin. CFDs are not suitable for every investor — please read the full Risk Disclosure before opening a position.
