CFDs (Contracts for Differences)
Speculate on both falling and rising markets without owning the shares themselves. You simply hold a contract for the shares which you open at one price and close at another, making or paying out the difference.
Only a small percentage of the full value of shares is needed in order to open the contract, this leveraging element of trading CFDs serves to amplify profits, but trade with caution as it can also amplify the losses too. If you're not sure where trading CFDs fits in with your strategy have a look at a few examples in our Why trade CFDs section.

Please familiarise yourself with our General Terms and Key Service Features before opening an account. Contracts for Difference are leveraged products which offer a potentially large exposure to the underlying security for a relatively small amount of capital. This will have the effect of magnifying profits or losses, and consequentially carries significant risk. You can quickly lose more than your initial investment so you must be fully aware of the risks before you begin.
