CFD trading involves speculating on the value of an underlying asset. The trader and broker agree to exchange the difference in the asset's price between the opening and closing of the trade. CFD stands for "Contract for Difference" in price. This method allows investors to leverage their capital and enjoy the benefits of trading assets such as stocks, commodities, indices, and crypto without owning the instruments or investing large sums of capital.
Access the Power of CFD Trading
CFDs allow you to use leverage, reducing the margin required to open a position. For instance, if Google stock is priced at $1,000 per share and you have $1,000 to invest, using a CFD with 1:10 leverage lets you invest $100 in Google stock, giving you $1,000 exposure without putting up $1,000. This frees up $900 to invest in other assets, facilitating diversification.
CFD trading is legal in many countries. Options Experts offers CFD trading in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and many other countries. Options Experts is a regulated broker authorized by CySEC, the FCA, and ASIC to provide CFD services.
Options Experts offers CFD trading with currencies, commodities, indices, stocks, and crypto assets (where available).
Some investment products, including CFDs, are derived from other financial assets. The underlying asset refers to the real financial asset on which the financial derivative is based. For example, it could be a share of stock or a barrel of oil. The value of the underlying asset drives the value of the financial derivative.
1. Choose an Asset: Select an asset offered as a CFD by the broker, such as a stock, index, currency, or other available assets.
2. Open a Position: Set parameters like long or short position, leverage size, invested amount (margin), stop-loss, and other options.
3. Opening Price and Fees: The broker will state the opening price and any additional fees (e.g., overnight fees).
4. Monitor the Position: The position remains open until you decide to close it or it is closed by an automatic command, like reaching a stop-loss or take profit point, or contract expiry.
5. Profit or Loss: If the position closes in profit, the broker pays you the difference. If it closes at a loss, you pay the broker the difference.
