What are CFDs?
CFDs, or contracts for difference, were originally created to imitate traditional share trading. The difference is that they are a derivative, which is simply a way of saying you don't actually own any part of the market you are trading – you speculate on the opening and closing values of a market to find potential profits. Since you don't own anything, you are not limited by the need to put up large amounts of money to trade them. In fact, with GFT, you can use leverage to help you take advantage of price movements without risking too much of your money – you have the opportunity to trade more for less.

Maintain your trades as long as you wish, and worry less about paying the additional fees associated with exchange-traded markets.

So how do I trade CFDs? View terminology and real-life trade examples here.
CFDs are a leveraged product and therefore may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs carry a high degree of risk to your capital and it is possible to lose more than your initial investment or credit allocation as well as any variation margin that you may be required to deposit from time to time. You should only speculate with money that you can afford to lose. Please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary and prior to entering into such transactions.
