What are CFD/FX ?

How Do You Trade A CFD?

The mechanics of trading CFD’s works much in the same way as buying or selling equities, futures or forex, except with a CFD you never actually own the underlying instrument. What you’re trading is the difference between the price when you first enter the trade and when you exit it. Hence the name, Contract For Difference. Most CFD providers also require that you cross the spread to enter or exit a position. Let’s run through a trade example for some clarity:

You want to BUY 100 “shares” in company XYZ, as you believe that the price is going up in the short term.

The current price is $10.55, the bid is $10.50 and the offer is $10.60.

• You click BUY, crossing the spread, and pay $10.60 for 100 “shares”.
• You’ve used $53 margin on your position (assuming a margin of 5%), instead of the $1050 + fees that you’d outlay if you bought the stock itself.
• The stock quickly moves to your target of $11, where you decide to sell.
• You click SELL, crossing the spread, and are filled at $10.95 on your 100 “shares”.

Congratulations! You made a profit of $35 (35c per “share” x 100) on your position.

As you can see, leverage is powerful. A $35 profit on a $53 margin (66%) is a far greater ROI than the 4-5% profit that you’d make buying the underlying, even if the total dollar amounts are a little less.

Here lies the attraction of leverage and CFDs. Of course, the opposite could also be possible. The equivalent move could wipe your CFD account of all of its capital (and more).
