Ways to trade
CFDs
No need to own assets
CFDs are derivative products, so you can take a position without owning the assets your market’s price is based on. This gives you flexibility to trade across a huge range of markets.
Take your capital further
You needn’t put up the full value of your position when you open, as CFDs are leveraged. However losses, as well as profits, are magnified.
Go long or short
Unlike traditional investing, CFDs allow you to take advantage of both falling and rising market prices.
