What is CFD trading?
Trade CFDs to take advantage of falling or rising markets without owning the underlying asset.
A contract for difference (CFD) is a derivative: its price is based on the underlying market price of an asset, such as a share or commodity.
When you trade CFDs you trade on the change in an asset's value, without ever owning that asset.
Key benefits of CFD trading

- Trade with no stamp duty to pay on equities
- Gain greater market exposure by trading on margin
- Keep trades open as long as you want
