Why trade CFDs?

Unlike with trading shares, where you have to purchase them outright, paying the full price, CFDs are trading on margin, so you can maximise your capital and create same exposure with less cash. For example, with Alpari (UK), you can open a share CFD position with a margin of just 5%.

With CFDs, you can profit (and lose) from both rising and falling markets by trading long or short – you buy if you think the market will rise, and you sell if you think the market will fall.

With Alpari (UK), you can trade equity, commodity, index, energy and gold/silver future CFDs on the popular MetaTrader 4 platform.

The core benefits of CFD trading:

  • Go long or short
