Stocks on Margin (CFDs)
CFDs (Contract for Difference) are a more efficient way to trade stock for aggressive, short-term investors and enable you to gear your stock investments to take advantage of smaller price swings — for a normal gearing of up to 10 times, an investment of only $10,000 can command a position of $100,000 on the stock market.

CFDs are available for thousands of stocks from 23 of the world’s major exchanges.

Market CFDs
Market Maker CFDs on large cap stocks and indices are traded directly on the price displayed - if the price is displayed in green, that is the firm price you will be filled at.

All other CFDs are directly routed to the exchange, enabling you to participate directly in the order book and you can place trades directly around the indicated market price.

Live tradable prices CFD prices are linked directly to the underlying stock price and unlike traditional stocks, can be traded directly on live tradable prices.

Long and short selling Take short positions to take advantage in downward price swings just as easily as taking long positions with CFDs.
