CFDs

CFD or Contract For Differences is in essence an agreement between the buyer and seller to exchange the difference in the current value of a share, currency, commodity or index and its value at the end of the contract. The leveraged derivative products allow investors to speculate on price movements without needing to own the underlying asset. This is because contracts for difference are traded on margin, and the profit/loss is determined by the difference between the buy and the sell price. Because contracts for difference trade on margin, investors only need a small proportion of the total value of a position to trade.

The CFD market most resembles the futures and options market, the major differences being:

• Trading is done off-exchange with CFD brokers or market makers.
• CFD contract is normally one to one with the underlying instrument.
• Minimum contract sizes are small, so it’s possible to buy one share CFD, low entry threshold.
• Easy to create new instruments, not restricted to exchange definitions or jurisdictional boundaries, very wide selection of underlying instruments can be traded.

• Small moves can be magnified further using leverage if compared to the actual underlined product, shares, futures, commodities, Index.
• Compared to futures and equities the minimum contract size is small, meaning a minimal amount of money is needed to trade in them.
• You can also use CFD trades to hedge against a physical shares exposure in your portfolio.
• Profit from a falling market. CFDs allow you to profit from a stock or index that is falling in value.
