CFDs
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is an agreement between a trader and brokerage in which an asset is purchased or sold at a mark-up of the offered cost. Similar to FOREX trading, CFD trading does not involve the physical purchasing of an asset, but rather speculates on price movements of said assets.
Advantages of Trading CFDs
The advantages and nature of CFDs are fairly similar to FOREX currency pairs. Both types of instruments can benefit from:
- High leverage;
- Convenient trading hours (24/5 trading);
- High volatility.
