A CFD is an understanding to exchange the difference in the value of an asset from the time the contract is opened until the time at which it's closed. With a CFD you never really possess the asset or instrument you have chosen to trade, but you'll still benefit in case the market moves in your favour, or make a loss should the market move against you.
CFDs are a leveraged product, which means that you simply only ought to deposit a little percentage of the complete value of the trade in order to open a position. This is called ‘trading on margin’. Whereas trading on margin permits you to exaggerate your returns, losses will also be amplified as they are based on the total value of the position, meaning you may lose more than any capital deposited.

Your approach to risk management and how long you hold a position for can affect your potential CFD trading costs. There's a charge to hold a position overnight and for placing a GSLO. For share CFD trading, there is also a market data fee and commission charge.
Our extensive range of risk management tools include regular, trailing and guaranteed stop-loss orders (GSLOs). These instruments enable you to manage risk, helping to secure potential profits and minimise losses. Unlike other stop-loss order types, GSLOs offer 100% certainty that a trade will close at an exact price, for a premium. If the GSLO is not triggered, we refund the premium charge in full.
