What are CFDs?

CFDs, or contracts for difference, are powerful leveraged instruments that can give you maximum exposure
for minimum outlay.

CFDs allow you to trade shares, sectors, indices, interest rate securities, commodities and foreign exchange CFDs over local and international markets using a single trading account.

They let you exchange the difference in the price of an underlying instrument (such as a share, index or commodity) between the time a contract is opened and the time the contract is closed.

With CFD trading, profit or loss occurs as part of having maximum exposure for minimal outlay with a leveraged instrument. Your profit or loss is determined by the difference between the buy price and the sell price of the instrument you’re trading.
