Many traders favour CFD trading for the flexibility and potential profit it offers. Because CFDs are leveraged products you can trade on them whilst only paying a fraction of the total contract value, which means more profit potential than non-leveraged instruments*. It is important to stress though that this comes at the price of high risk and substantial losses are possible if the market moves against your position. The ability to go long or short gives maximum market agility, making Contracts for Difference trading so popular amongst speculative traders who want to be able to adapt their strategy quickly.

 

CFD trading gives you:

• Instant access to global markets including the UK, USA, Europe and Asia
• Low margins requiring minimal initial investment
• No short selling rules
• No borrowing or shorting costs
• No minimum capital on day trading
• A wide variety of trading commodities and options

 

 

Contracts For Difference

A bility to G o Long or Short

CFDs (contracts for difference) trading allows investors the ability to go long or short and the opportunity to make money in a falling market without the need to put up large amounts of capital, making them a more flexible way of investing. CFD trading is often used for speculative purposes. CFDs can be used to speculate on the future movement of market prices whether the price of the underlying product is rising or falling. If you believe the price is going to fall you can go short and sell the CFD and thereby benefit from falling prices if your prediction was right. Please see the following example of a CFD trade: If you believe that the UK 100 will rise in value you can request a price using your online trading account via the Hantec (NZ) MT4 trading platform . You will see the spread e.g.5293.5-5294.5 points, and you then buy at 5294.5 for an amount (the minimum amount with Hantec Markets is 1 CFD). This is equivalent of£ 1 per point movement of the index. If the price moves up to 5394.5-5395.5 and you sell at 5394.5, you would realize a 100 point profit of (the price you sell for 5394.5) minus (price you bought for 5294.5). As you have placed a 1 CFD trade, you would make a profit of£ 100 (£1 multiplied by 100). Please bear in mind had the market fallen in value you would have incurred a loss of [(opening price - closing price) x CFD amount].

 

Leverage

CFDs are leveraged products that allow you to trade while only paying a fraction of the total value of the contract. When you trade a leveraged product, you can potentially magnify your return on investment. But with great potential returns also comes greater risk. The higher leverage can result in losses that could exceed your initial deposit.

 

Range of Markets

Investors can use CFDs to gain instant exposure to major global markets including the UK, US, Europe and Asia.
