FAQs

CFDs are complex and high-risk products due to their speculative nature and leverage.

We are a UK-domiciled financial institution and have clients worldwide. However, due to certain legal and regulatory restrictions, some residents may not be permitted to open an account. Please contact support for details.

CFDs can be used to trade multiple asset classes such as FX, commodities, treasuries, shares, and indices. They also allow leverage and short positions for hedging and diversification purposes.

Speculating for the price to fall on a given market.

With a CFD you can trade the following asset classes: FX, Indices, Commodities, Equities, treasuries and cryptocurrencies. Please note Crypto is not available to retail clients.

The underlying asset refers to the product you are trading, such as Brent crude oil or physical gold.

This is dependent on the classification of your account. Retail traders in accordance with regulation cannot have margin offsets.

The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price. It’s a built-in cost you pay when opening a CFD trade.

A pip is the tradable point in CFD trading. This means your position size correlates to the pip value you change, e.g., one standard lot of FTSE equals £10 per pip movement. If the market moves 5 pips, this is a profit or loss of £50.

CFDs expose you to market risk, leverage risk, counterparty risk, volatility and gapping, margin call risk, and liquidity risk. Because CFDs are leveraged products, losses can exceed your initial deposit.

No, you do not own the underlying asset when trading a CFD.

Your profit or loss is based on the difference between the price you open and the price you close your CFD position. If the market moves in your favour, you shall profit; if it moves against you, you lose. Any additional costs, such as financing charges, swap rates, or currency conversion effects, are also subtracted from your overall profit or loss on the position.

A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a derivative that allows you to speculate on the rise and fall in the price of an underlying market such as shares, FX, commodities, or indices, without taking ownership of the actual asset.

CFDs are good till cancelled, meaning they roll over nightly until the trade is closed. They do not have an expiry date unless otherwise stated, which can be the case with CFD futures and CFD forwards.

CFDs are traded over-the-counter with your broker, have no expiry date, offer flexible position sizes, but can become more expensive over time because of overnight financing costs.

Futures are traded on an exchange, are fully standardised in size and expiry, must be closed or rolled over when the expiry date arrives, usually have lower long-term costs, but are less flexible and often require more capital.

You can use CFDs to hedge your other holdings by opening a short position with a CFD on the same asset you already own. If the market drops, the gain on the CFD can help offset the loss on your holding.

You can start trading in CFDs by submitting an application for a trading account. Once your application is approved, you can trade the product(s) of your choice by searching for them on the platform and executing trades via our web, desktop, or mobile platforms.

CFD stands for ‘Contract for difference’. It is a financial derivative that allows you to speculate on the rise and fall of an underlying market, such as shares, indices, commodities, or forex, without taking ownership of that asset.
