CFDs

CFDs are a type of derivative that enables you to trade on the price movement of financial assets (such as shares). You can trade if you believe the price of a financial instrument is likely to go up in value (strengthen) and if you think it is likely to go down (weaken). Your profit or loss is determined by the difference you buy at and the price at which you sell.
