Share & Index CFD Trading

Online CFD trading is one of the most popular and fast developing financial services. It is a faster and more convenient way of trading than the real acquisition of Shares and Indices.

Please note that due to regulatory restrictions, CFDs on shares and indices are not offered to US residents.

What are CFDs?

---

A CFD (Contract For Difference) is a contract to exchange the difference between the opening and closing prices of a financial instrument, such as an individual share, stock index, futures contract or a commodity. The main feature of CFD trading is that an instrument purchased by Contract for Difference is not actually shipped in the process of trading and the client does not actually own the underlying instrument. Although the trader is not the beneficial owner of the shares, as the holder of a long CFD position, he/she is entitled to receive a cash amount similar to any dividend, declared by the company while the position is held open (less taxes or administration charges). Conversely, when holding a short CFD, the trader is required to pay an amount, equal to the gross dividend, even though he/she does not own the underlying stock.
