CFDs
Contracts for difference (CFDs) are derivative trading instruments that allow traders to speculate on the movements of financial markets, such as indices, commodities and oil, without owning the underlying market. By trading CFDs you are basically opening a contract with the broker. The profit or loss is then calculated based on the price difference of a market from the moment you open a position until you close it.

- Lower spread costs can help your strategy execute more trades.

How does CFD trading work?
A CFD (contract for difference) is a popular type of derivative product that gives traders the ability to speculate on, or hedge on movements in the underlying equity indices and commodities without the need to physically own those assets. That means traders don’t need to pay some of the associated costs of ownership such as account management fees, commissions, and, in some countries, stamp duty. A trader’s profit or loss from a CFD trade is determined by the difference between the price at which they buy it and the price at which they sell it, plus or minus any finance charges.
