Share CFDs

Share CFDs are contracts that mirror the performance of the underlying market security with the profit or loss calculated as the difference between the purchase price and the selling price.

 

  • Buy if you think the market will rise; Sell if you think the market will fall.
  • Open position with a margin of 5% - as CFDs is a leveraged product, there is no need to pay the full value of the position.
  • CFDs trading is subject to commission charges: our commission starts from only 0.09%.
  • If your position remains open at the end of the trading session your account is automatically adjusted to reflect the financing charges.
  • Close a position whenever you like: there is no fixed expiry date.


Dividends

If you trade stock CFDs you will not receive dividends in the same way that actual shareholders would. Instead, you will receive a ‘Cash Adjustment’. Adjustments will be calculated depending on the underlying market events. 

Pending orders

Pending orders (Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Limit and Sell Limit) will be automatically deleted when the market closes at the end of each trading session. Please note, however that Stop Loss and Take Profit orders will remain in the market.

Trading Hours

Market trading hours are an important factor when trading CFDs. If you have an open position when the markets close, this means you will not be able to close your trade until the market re-opens again the next trading day. Due to the volatility of equity markets, the opening price at the start of the next trading session can be vastly different from the closing price of the previous trading session. Please see Contract Specifications for more details.
