CFD trading

CFD online trading allows you to trade on the upward or downward price movements of a wide range of markets including indices and commodities.
  • In the same way as FX online trading, you do not buy or sell the underlying asset but are able to trade on the price movements of that asset in CFD online trading.
  • You will be required to maintain a margin of the face value of the underlying asset in CFD online trading.
  • CFD online trading provides instant diversification to your trading portfolio.
