What are CFDs?

Contracts for difference (CFDs) allow you to open a contract for the difference in price of an asset, from the point of opening to when you close.

Importantly, CFDs are a leveraged product. This means you only have to put down a small deposit for a much larger market exposure.
Leverage comes with significant benefits and risks: your investment capital can go further, but you can also lose more than your initial deposit.
CFDs are priced on the movement of an underlying financial product. The movement of the underlying contract will impact the price of the CFD, so consider the underlying financial products price movements as significant driver of the CFD.

CFD trading allows you to take a position on the future value of an asset whether you think it will go up or down. While this means the product is very flexible, it also requires a high level of risk management.

It's important to remember you're trading contracts with IG, not physically trading in the underlying market. This means you don’t actually own any assets.

CFD FAQs

How do I trade CFDs?

We set a price for a contract based on the underlying market, which you can buy or sell.

With each market you are given a 'buy' and 'sell' price either side of the underlying market price. You can trade on a market to go up (known as 'buying' or 'going long'), or you can trade on it to go down (known as 'selling' or 'going short').

Learn more about trading CFDs

How much does it cost to trade CFDs?

It depends on the market you choose. Generally you only pay a commission charge for share CFDs, or a spread (the difference between the buy and sell prices) for all other markets. There is a small charge to fund positions overnight, a small premium for guaranteed stops, and other fees.

See our full charges and fees

Is it risky?

Yes, CFDs do carry risk - if the market moves against you, you lose money. And because CFDs are leveraged products, you could lose more than your deposit.

IG offers a full range of tools to help you manage your risk.

See risk management tools

Can I trade CFDs with direct market access (DMA)?

Yes. We offer DMA on both shares and forex. It’s important to remember that while you’re trading on underlying market prices and depth with our DMA service, what you’ll actually receive on placing a trade is a CFD from us. It works like this:

DMA displays the best bid and offer price available for a particular market, plus further prices on either side of the order book
You place an order, and we instantaneously conduct a margin check to ensure you have sufficient funds to cover the margin on your proposed trade
If the margin check is satisfied we place an order in the market and, at the same time, create a parallel CFD between you and us

So while you’re trading at market prices, you won’t gain any ownership rights over the equities or currencies that form the subject of your CFD.

To calculate your net profit or loss, you would need to factor in any funding charges. See our detailed example for more information.

What are DFBs?

Daily funded bets (DFBs) are long-term bets on the cash price of an underlying instrument. DFBs have no expiry date, so we make a cash adjustment to your account to reflect funding charges.

Why do CFD and spread betting FX prices look different?

You trade forex via CFD in contracts or lots. We therefore display CFD forex prices in the same way you would expect to see them on an FX exchange: e.g. 1.31425
Because you spread bet on forex in currency per point, we display prices differently e.g. 13142.5. This makes it easier to see per point movements.

This makes no difference to the price you deal at or your potential profit or loss: it simply makes it easier to track per point movements.
