Contract for difference (CFD) trading, is a form of speculative trading that lets you profit from price movements in financial derivatives without owning the underlying asset.
With a CFD trading platform, you can open a long position (buy) if you expect the price to rise, or a short position (sell) if you anticipate a decline.
Leverage lets you use margin trading to open bigger positions with lower capital. For example, with FBS leverage of 1:300, a $100 deposit lets you trade as if you had $30 000. Learn more about margin and leverage.
Leverage amplifies profits, but it also increases risk. Even a small market move can lead to gains or losses. To balance the risk, FBS provides negative balance protection and stop-loss orders, giving you more control over your CFD trades.
Unlike spread betting, where profits depend on your stake per point, CFD trading calculates profits and losses based on contract size and the difference between opening and closing prices.
For example, if you buy 1 CFD on a stock at $100 and sell at $105, you make a $5 profit per CFD. If the price drops to $95 instead, you take a $5 loss.
Many traders use market orders for quick execution or trading signals to spot opportunities. Always consider your risk-to-reward ratio to manage potential losses effectively.
