CFDs & Derivatives

If you have ever wished you could have the opportunity to profit from both rising and falling share prices, you cannot fail to be excited by the potential offered by a Contract for Difference (CFD).

What are CFDs?

A CFD is essentially an agreement between you (the CFD holder) and us (the CFD provider) to settle at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening price and closing price of the trade, ie. the price movement.

Instead of physically buying and holding a particular share, you get indirect access to its price movements, without ever taking delivery of the actual shares.

What are the benefits?

  • Go short and long - potential to profit from falling as well as rising markets and prices.
  • Low commissions.
  • No stamp duty.
  • Access to global markets - Shares, Indices, Sectors, Commodities, Forex.
  • Leverage - deposit a fraction of the overall trade value.
  • Open ended - No fixed expiry date.
  • Receive credit interest on short positions.
  • Hedging.

What are the risks?

  • High risk to capital - leverage will magnify losses as well as profits.
  • Possible to lose more than your initial deposit.
  • Financing costs on long positions.
  • No voting rights.

Please note: CFDs are a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. Trading CFDs may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.

Some Examples of CFD Trading:

Gain from falling and rising prices
If you're feeling 'bullish' you can make gains from rising price movements by 'going long'. Alternatively, if you are feeling 'bearish', you can gain from falling prices by 'going short'. Therefore, there is always an opportunity to make gains based on either an increase or decrease in the share price. » View Example

Stop Losses / Guaranteed Stop Losses
You can protect yourself from potential losses by using a stop loss or guaranteed stop loss. A stop loss order allows you to set a price which, if reached, will automatically trigger a sell order (for long positions) or buy order (for short positions) thus closing your current position.

A guaranteed stop loss can be used on selected stocks and indices. As the name suggests, this is a stop loss order that is guaranteed to be executed at the price you specify, even if the price of the share or index makes a sudden movement and never actually trades at the price you selected. » View Example

Commodity CFD
As well as stocks and indices, you can also trade CFDs on commodity spot markets such as gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, soy beans etc. » View Example
