Work with a regulated European broker

When trading share CFDs, it is important to choose a broker authorised under recognised regulatory frameworks. A regulated broker must follow strict rules regarding transparency, client fund handling, and operational standards. This framework provides added confidence when trading shares connected to global equity markets.

Share CFD costs and pricing
When trading share CFDs, it is important to understand the different components that may affect the overall cost of a position.
Spreads
The spread represents the difference between the buy and sell price of a share CFD. Competitive spreads can help reduce transaction costs, particularly for traders who enter and exit positions frequently.
Overnight financing
If a leveraged position remains open beyond the trading day, a financing adjustment may be applied. This reflects the cost of maintaining exposure over time.
No additional trading commissions
Share CFD transactions on the iFOREX Europe platform are structured without separate trading commission fees.
Being aware of these pricing elements allows traders to plan their positions more carefully and manage trading expenses with greater clarity.
Advantages of share trading
1
Participate in both upward and downward movements
With share CFDs, you can open Buy (long) positions if you expect a price increase, or Sell (short) positions if you anticipate a decline, allowing flexibility in different market conditions.
2
Access international equities through one platform
Trade shares from various global markets and sectors within a single account, without the need to manage multiple brokerage relationships.
3
Adapt position size to your strategy
Position sizing can be adjusted according to your trading approach, experience level, and individual risk tolerance.
4
Leverage with awareness
Leverage can expand your market exposure relative to your initial capital. However, because it amplifies both potential gains and potential losses, it should be used carefully and as part of a defined risk-management plan.
What to keep in mind
1
Leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses
Because leverage magnifies market exposure, even relatively small price movements can have a significant impact on your position. Careful risk management is essential.
2
Corporate and macro news can drive volatility
Share prices often react strongly to earnings announcements, forward guidance updates, sector developments, and broader economic events, which may lead to rapid market movements.
3
Concentrated exposure can heighten risk
Holding multiple leveraged positions — especially within the same sector or market — may increase overall exposure during periods of volatility.
4
Financing adjustments may apply
Positions kept open overnight may be subject to financing costs, particularly when trading with leverage.

Share trading – FAQs
What is share CFD trading?
Share CFD trading involves speculating on the price movements of publicly listed companies without owning the underlying shares. When trading CFDs, you enter into a contract based on price changes rather than purchasing the stock itself.
Do I receive dividends when trading share CFDs?
You do not receive physical dividends. However, dividend adjustments may be applied to open CFD positions to reflect corporate actions, depending on whether you hold a Buy (long) or Sell (short) position at the time of the dividend event.
Can I go short on shares?
Yes. Share CFDs allow you to open Buy (long) positions if you expect prices to rise, or Sell (short) positions if you anticipate a decline.
What factors influence share prices?
Share prices are affected by company earnings results, forward guidance, economic indicators, interest rate decisions, sector performance, and broader market sentiment. Company-specific developments can also cause price fluctuations.
Is share trading risky?
Yes. Share prices can be volatile, and leveraged trading increases both potential gains and potential losses. It is important to use appropriate risk-management tools and trade within your financial means.
