Contract For Difference (CFD)
Description
A contract for difference (CFD) is a financial instrument that enables two parties to trade based on the price difference between the entry price and closing price. It allows traders to speculate the trend of the market without actually owning an asset and to trade on margin, giving them access to a wider market.

Access markets including forex, commodities, indices, shares and more, at low cost.
