If you\u2019re a more experienced investor, here\u2019s where you can find out more about CFDs and compare platforms that sell them. <\/p><h3 id=\"learn\">What is CFD trading?<\/h3><p>CFD stands for \u201ccontracts for difference\u201d. CFDs let you trade on the price movements of shares, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/stock-market-indices\/index-funds\">indices<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/invest-in\/commodities\">commodities<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/forex-trading\/major-minor-exotic-currency-pairs\">currencies<\/a>. While traditional investing involves aiming to make a profit through dividend payments or the rise in value of shares you own, CFDs involve betting on which way the price of a particular asset will move. CFDs are classed as \u201cderivative\u201d financial products, this means that their price is derived from the underlying price of a particular asset. Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/share-trading-guides\/share-trading-glossary\/options-trading\">options<\/a> and futures contracts, CFDs do not have an expiry date.<\/p><p>When you trade CFDs you don\u2019t own the underlying asset, like you do with stocks and shares. Instead, you borrow money to bet on the short-term rise or fall of a financial instrument such as shares in a company. If your prediction is right, you can make a profit; if your prediction is wrong, you can suffer a loss.<\/p><p>CFDs are becoming an increasingly popular trading option for investors in the UK and around the world. This is largely because they offer the potential to enjoy substantial gains with a smaller amount of starting capital, because you can borrow money (leverage and margin). This rise in popularity is reflected by the increasing number of online brokers making it possible for investors to trade CFDs from the comfort of their own home.<\/p><p>However, <strong>CFD trading comes with substantial risks attached.<\/strong> With leverage (borrowing), you can end up losing significantly more money than you initially invested. The appeal is that leverage allows you to potenitally amplify profit but it can also lead to a magnification of losses. With this in mind, it\u2019s important that you know what you\u2019re doing and that you have an in-depth understanding of the risks involved before you start trading CFDs.<\/p><h3 id=\"trade\">How can you trade CFDs?<\/h3><p>There are loads of technical terms when it comes to trading CFDs and it\u2019s more complex than just buying shares as a long-term buy and hold investor. Here are some of the ways that CFDs are traded:<\/p><h5>Buy in a rising market<\/h5><p>If you expect the asset to increase in price then you could \u201cbuy\u201d with the \u201coffer\u201d price. This will be the higher of the two prices \u2013 the difference is the \u201cspread\u201d which we cover below.<\/p><p>If the asset rises in price, as you expected, then you can then \u201csell\u201d at the \u201cbid\u201d price. You\u2019ll have made a profit as long as the price rose by more than the spread.<\/p><h5>Sell in a falling market<\/h5><p>The next option is to \u201csell\u201d a CFD on an asset that you predict will drop in value. This is done with the \u201cbid\u201d price. If your prediction is correct, you can then \u201cbuy\u201d at the \u201coffer\u201d price. You will have made a profit if the value went down by more than the spread. However, if you are wrong and the price of the asset rises, you will suffer a loss.<\/p><h5>Using margin and leverage<\/h5><p>CFDs are a leveraged financial product. This means that you don\u2019t need to put down the full value of your trade. You only need to outlay a small percentage of the value of an asset when you open a position, this is called the margin. The remaining value is borrowed from the CFD provider, so it\u2019s essentially a loan.<\/p><p>Because of this, it\u2019s entirely possible to lose more than your initial deposit when you invest in CFDs. It\u2019s imperative to ensure that you\u2019re fully aware of your exposure and use tools like stop-loss orders or stop-entry orders to reduce your risk.<\/p><p>like stop loss orders or stop entry orders which can help lessen your risk.<\/p><h5>What is the spread? And how does it affect me?<\/h5><p>CFD prices are always listed in pairs. There\u2019s a different price depending on whether you want to \u201cbuy\u201d or \u201csell\u201d. There will be a difference between these numbers, sometimes quite small (known as a tight spread) and sometimes quite large (wide spreads).<\/p><p>It helps to look at an example. Let\u2019s say that you want to trade a CFD and this is what you see:<\/p><table class=\"luna-table\"><thead class=\"luna-table__header\"><tr><th scope=\"col\">SELL<\/th><th scope=\"col\">BUY<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><td>6499.5<\/td><td>6500.5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>The spread is the difference between 6499.5 and 6500.5, which is 1 point (that\u2019s what it\u2019s called, we don\u2019t know why). Let\u2019s say you think the value will go up, in this case, you\u2019ll buy at the offer price.<\/p><p>Now, let\u2019s say the value rises by 5 points over the space of a week. At that point, you\u2019ll see this:<\/p><table class=\"luna-table\"><thead class=\"luna-table__header\"><tr><th scope=\"col\">SELL<\/th><th scope=\"col\">BUY<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><td>6504.5<\/td><td>6505.5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Both \u201cbuy\u201d and \u201csell\u201d prices have risen by 5. The spread is still 1 point. Now, if you want to exit your position, you need to make the opposite action you made before, in this case: \u201csell\u201d.<\/p><p>When you sell, you don\u2019t completely benefit from the rise of 5 points. As the spread is 1 point, you make a profit of 4 points. Depending on how much each point is worth, and how many contracts you\u2019ve got, you can calculate your profit or loss.<\/p><h3 id=\"strategies\">What CFD trading strategies can I use?<\/h3><p>There are two main approaches you can use when trading CFDs:<\/p><ul class=\"has-margin-bottom\"><li><strong>Going long.<\/strong> This means buying a CFD in the expectation that the underlying CFD will increase in value. You can then sell at a profit if your prediction is proved to be correct.<\/li><li><strong>Going short.<\/strong> This strategy involves selling a CFD because you believe the underlying CFD will decrease in value. If this prediction is correct and the price drops, you can buy the product back in future at a lower price. You\u2019ll hear the term used as a verb, such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/cfd-trading\/how-to-short-the-ftse\">how to short the FTSE 100<\/a>\u201c<\/li><\/ul><p>In either case, when you close the contract, you\u2019ll make the opposite action to your original one. With this action, you want to gain the difference between the opening value of the contract and its closing value \u2013 whether that difference is up or down.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card--primary has-margin-bottom\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><h4>Example scenario<\/h4><p>Let\u2019s say that  Dan has decided he would like to start trading CFDs. After hunting around for a trading platform that offers the features he wants, Dan decides that a company he has been monitoring, Joe Bloggs Enterprises, is set to experience a big jump in its share price, so he \u201cgoes long\u201d and buys 4,000 CFDs at \u00a35 each \u2013 that means a total contract value of \u00a320,000.<\/p><p>The CFD provider requires a 5% margin in order to open a trade, so this amount (\u00a31,000) is deducted from Dan\u2019s account.<\/p><p>Happily for Dan, the shares jump a massive 10% from \u00a35 to \u00a35.50, which sees Dan gain close to \u00a32,000, almost doubling his initial investment.<\/p><p>Now, let\u2019s say that Daniella has also been monitoring Joe Bloggs Enterprises and believed that the share price was about to go down. She \u201cwent short\u201d and sold 4,000 CFDs at \u00a35 each. Like Dan, she has a total contract value of \u00a320,000 and puts down a 5% margin for \u00a31,000.  As the shares have gone up, instead of down, as Daniella predicted, she lost her initial \u00a31000 and owes a further \u00a31000.<\/p><p>This is why CFD trading is risky. Leverage allows both Dan and Daniella to borrow \u00a319,000 to purchase their contracts. They are both at risk of losing more money then their initial investment, which Daniella ends up doing.<\/p><\/div><\/article><p>In terms of trading strategies, there is a huge selection of approaches you can adopt. For example, you may wish to hedge a single stock by selling a CFD for every share you hold in a company. This can then offset any losses you sustain due to the fall in value of the underlying asset.<\/p><p>Another common approach is to engage in pairs trading with two historically similar stocks, such as shares in two banks. When the price of shares in one bank temporarily weakens against the price of those in another, you can then long the under performing stock and short the other one, taking the gamble that the spread between the two will eventually come closer together.<\/p><h3 id=\"compare-platforms\">How do I compare CFD platforms?<\/h3><p>Consider the following features when comparing CFD platforms:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Fees and charges.<\/strong> You may need to pay fees to a trading platform provider in order to trade CFDs and access markets. You\u2019ll be charged for every trade you place and the trade will vary between providers, while you may also have to pay fees to access additional research data. Some platforms will charge interest on long CFD positions that are held open overnight, so make sure you\u2019re aware of all the fees that may apply to your account. Most of the time, fees will be built into the spread.<\/li><li><strong>Market data.<\/strong> What data does the trading platform make available about the market and the performance of underlying assets? Do you need to pay a fee to access this data?<\/li><li><strong>Research tools.<\/strong> Consider the research tools available if you want to research companies, share prices and the performance of the market in general. These tools can help you make informed trading decisions.<\/li><li><strong>Ease of use.<\/strong> Look for a platform that is easy and intuitive to use. Many platforms will let you open a demo account to sample their services, and these can be very useful when making your final decision.<\/li><li><strong>Trading methods.<\/strong> In addition to trading online via your PC, can you lodge trades over the phone or through an app on your tablet or mobile device?<\/li><li><strong>Margin requirements.<\/strong> In order to open a CFD, you\u2019ll need to pay a margin \u2013 this is a percentage of the total value of the trade. Margin requirements vary between providers.<\/li><li><strong>Margin calls.<\/strong> If you have an open trade that has lost money and there are not enough funds in your account to cover your debt, a CFD provider will make a margin call. While some providers will alert you to notify you of your margin call requirements, others will not and will instead place the responsibility on you to monitor your account.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"proscons\">What are the pros and cons of trading with CFDs?<\/h3><div class=\"u-grid\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s\"><h5>Pros<\/h5><ul class=\"list-4\"><li>You don\u2019t have to worry about asset ownership costs<\/li><li>Because you are trading with leverage, you can start with a smaller amount of capital than if you were to trade the real underlying asset<\/li><li>Large financial profits is possible (but unlikely) when trading CFDs<\/li><li>You can enjoy the convenience of managing all your CFD trades at home with a user-friendly platform<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/2@s\"><h5>Cons<\/h5><ul class=\"list-13\"><li>Trading CFDs is a high-risk investment strategy<\/li><li>You can lose more than your original investment<\/li><li>Counterparty risk \u2013 the CFD provider may fail<\/li><li>Changing market conditions and the technical capabilities of the trading platform you use may mean you are unable to place trades at the time you wish<\/li><li>Using leverage means the possibility of magnifying your losses<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h3 id=\"who\">Who should trade CFDs?<\/h3><p><strong>CFDs aren\u2019t for the beginner investor.<\/strong> They are complex trading instruments and come with a high level of risk and a large percentage of users lose money trading CFDs. You need to ensure that you know the risks involved and that you are trading money that you can afford to lose.<\/p><h3>Are CFDs a gamble?<\/h3><p>Yes, and no. Gambling, in general, is about taking risks with the chance of a positive or desired outcome.<\/p><p>However, when it comes to tax, CFDs do not fall under gambling laws, which means you may have to pay capital gains tax on your profit. You can offset your losses against your profits, though, so if you make an overall loss then you wouldn\u2019t pay tax on the gains you do make.<\/p><h3 id=\"risks\">What are some of the risks when trading with CFDs?<\/h3><h5>Leverage<\/h5><p>Leverage is one of the reasons why CFDs have such high risks attached to them. It essentially allows you to enter a position with only a small percentage of the value (called the margin). The remainder is borrowed from the CFD provider. For instance, if you buy \u00a35,000 worth of ABC CFDs that have a margin of 5%, you only need to provide a margin of \u00a3250 to open the position. The rest of the value of the asset is covered by the CFD provider. However, the level of risk you are exposed to is identical to if you\u2019d purchased \u00a35,000 worth of shares at their full value. This means that any changes in the market will have a greater impact on the money you have invested than would be the case if you had simply bought shares in the traditional manner.<\/p><h5>You\u2019re not buying or trading the underlying asset<\/h5><p>A CFD is a contract between you and the CFD provider. Rising or falling prices can result in a profit or loss for you, and it\u2019s important to understand that you\u2019re not buying the underlying asset. This means that you won\u2019t receive dividend payments or have any ownerships rights or beneftis, as you won\u2019t own the asset.<\/p><h5>You can lose more than your original deposit<\/h5><p>Because of leverage, your potential to gain a profit or suffer a loss is far greater than the amount you pay to open a position.<\/p><h3 id=\"questions\">The most important questions about CFD Trading<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What\u2019s the difference between investing in shares and trading in CFDs?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>When you trade CFDs, you never own the actual underlying asset; instead, you bet on its price movements.
