- Spreads and commissions
CFDs are leveraged products, which means you can gain or lose a much larger amount than your initial deposit. This initial deposit is called margin.

Your main payment for CFD trading is the spread, the difference between the buy and the sell price. This reflects our charge for executing your trade.
We charge a spread on every market except for share CFDs, which are subject to a commission instead.
