Why use DMA to trade CFDs
More liquidity
Trade on underlying market prices sourced from a range of global liquidity venues, including primary exchanges, multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), market makers and banks.
Market depth
Deal at the price you want, with full view of the best bid and offer price available – plus further prices on either side of the order book.
Order control
Take greater control of trade execution with advanced order types – including pegged, fill or kill, execute and eliminate, good for auction, percentage of volume and more.
After-hours trading
Take full advantage of corporate earnings announcements by trading in the pre- and post-market on 140+ key US shares.
With CFDs, you can lose more than you deposit, you do not have ownership in the underlying asset, and you may be subject to margin close-outs if you do not maintain sufficient margin.

How much does DMA CFD trading cost?
DMA prices are not necessarily better than OTC, as our pricing technology is engineered to find the best available prices for both. However, direct access to the markets can give you greater visibility and flexibility as a trader.
Share CFD DMA trading:
Commission charges
We charge a small commission – the same as an over-the-counter (OTC) trade.
Exchange fees
Depending on the exchange you want to view or trade on, you may be liable to pay data fees.
Other fees
You may have to pay transaction costs, such as stock borrowing fees.
Forex direct CFD spreads
Your key payment for trading forex is the spread – the difference between the buy and the sell price – our charge for executing your trade. We work to keep our spreads among the lowest in the business.

What is DMA CFD trading?
Direct market access (DMA) is a way of placing trades directly in the underlying market – whether that’s on the order books of an exchange or multilateral trading facility (MTF), or with another liquidity provider. DMA can give traders more flexibility and transparency, but it’s usually recommended for advanced traders only due to its complexity.
