• CFD TRADING METHODS
  • There are various trading strategies that are often used when trading CFDs, that even the most unskilled trader can understand. These decisions involve a number of trading methods and the most popular are the Long vs. Short
  • Long Position A long position in trading CFDs is when a trader purchases the asset. This will mean that the asset will rise or see an increase in its value over the time of life of the contract. In long term trading, as it has a higher level of forecasting ability will allow traders to act on lower price market moves. Trades normally last from month to more than a year.
  • Short Position the short Position occurs when the trader feels there will be a decline in the assets value and a ‘sell’ is selected, however there is an intention from the trader to buy the contract back at a later stage. E.g.: A short seller’s expectation is that the price of the asset will fall over the life of the contract. If his prediction is wrong and the price of the asset starts to rise the open trade will sustain a loss, which is calculated by the difference between the opening and closing price of that asset over that time. The reverse is true should his open trade indicate that the asset chosen would decrease in value. Short term trades can allow profits from short time spans even up to minute-to-minute moves. Limiting financial costs is an advantage in short term trading.

  No Stamp Duty – For many, CFDs are not subject to stamp duty (this is subject to your individual circumstances and jurisdiction and can change).

  Multi-vehicle Investment – The ability to trade a range of instruments from the same trading platform.

  Trade on both rising and falling markets – Open either short or long positions according to the market conditions and your trading strategy.
