What is a CFD?

A **Contract for Difference** (CFD) is an agreement between a trader and their broker that stipulates one party will pay the other based on the price movement of an asset. The cash settlement amount is calculated as the difference between the opening and closing prices of the trade.

CFD trading allows you to trade on the value of an underlying asset without actually owning it. This derivative nature gives CFDs significant versatility, contributing to the market’s growth to billions of dollars since its inception in the 1990s.

Why Trade CFDs?

Not owning the underlying asset provides traders with several unique advantages.

CFD Market Coverage

CFDs can be utilized to trade across various asset classes, including stocks, indices, and commodities. This makes it a more convenient and potentially cost-effective method for accessing different markets, as the trading process remains consistent regardless of the asset class.

Short Selling CFDs

CFD trading enables you to “sell” a market you believe is overvalued. This allows for a more flexible approach than the traditional “buy-and-hold” strategy. By employing short selling, investors can capitalize on market movements, whether prices rise or fall. Utilizing stop-loss orders can help manage risks and limit potential losses.

Leveraged Trading with CFDs

Leverage allows you to increase the size of your investment and enhance the risk-return ratio. In leveraged trading, you only need to contribute a fraction of the total cost to open a position, using funds in your Platform account as a deposit or “margin.” Potential gains or losses are calculated based on the entire position size, not just the margin.

How Do You Trade a CFD?

Traditional investing typically follows the “buy low, sell high” strategy. CFD trading mirrors this approach but also allows for an alternative: “sell high, buy low.”

For instance, if you buy a CFD on Apple Inc. stock and the price rises, your broker will credit your account based on the price increase. Conversely, if the price falls, you’ll incur a loss, with the corresponding amount debited from your account. When you short a CFD position, you profit when the underlying asset’s price declines.

Regardless of the asset type—whether it’s gold, GBPUSD, or the NASDAQ 100 Index—the methodology for calculating profit and loss on a CFD trade remains the same. You speculate on price changes without owning the asset itself.

Is CFD Trading Right for Me?

CFD trading may suit you if you’re interested in trading both rising and falling markets and want to open leveraged positions. However, it’s important to note that CFD trading carries risks, and losses may exceed your initial deposit.
