Understanding the basics of CFD trading

When you engage in online trading, you’re investing in Contracts for Difference (CFDs). This allows you to speculate on price movements of a wide variety of financial instruments — without actually owning the asset itself.

In CFD trading, 1 contract typically represents the following:

Instrument

Equals

Oil

The price of 1 oil barrel

Gold

The price of 1 ounce of gold

EUR/USD

The price of 1 Euro in dollars

Leverage: Amplify your trading potential

Leverage is a key tool that many experienced European investors use to increase their market exposure. It allows you to open larger trades than your initial capital alone would allow — boosting your potential returns, but also increasing risk.

Investment		Leverage		Max deal size
€500	X	30:1	=	€15,000

Be sure to use leverage responsibly. While it can amplify gains, it can also magnify losses. Build your understanding first, and trade within your risk tolerance.
