Fundamentals
What is CFD trading?
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a derivative product that lets you speculate on whether an asset's price will rise or fall — without buying or selling the physical instrument.
Your profit or loss is the difference between the price when you open the trade and when you close it. CFDs offer leverage, two-way trading (long and short), and access to multiple asset classes from a single account.
You never take delivery of gold bars, barrels of oil, or shares. You trade purely on price movement.
- No ownership of underlying assets
- Profit from rising AND falling markets
- Leverage amplifies exposure — use risk controls
- Single platform for forex, indices, commodities & more
Two-way trading
Go long or short on any market
Bullish? Buy. Bearish? Sell. The mechanics are the same — only the direction changes.
Long (Buy)
You expect prices to rise
Open a buy position when you believe the market will increase. Close at a higher price to realise a profit. Used for uptrends, breakouts, and bullish news events.
Short (Sell)
You expect prices to fall
Open a sell position when you anticipate a decline. Close at a lower price to profit. Essential for hedging portfolios and trading bear markets.

Leverage & margin
Control larger positions with less capital
Leverage allows you to open a position worth more than your account balance. With 1:100 leverage, a $1,000 deposit can control a $100,000 forex position.
Margin is the collateral held to keep your trade open. If equity falls too low, a margin call or stop-out may close positions automatically.
We offer flexible leverage up to 1:500 on major forex pairs, with lower limits on more volatile instruments. Negative balance protection helps ensure you cannot lose more than your account funds.
| Leverage | Margin for $100k |
|---|---|
| 1:500 | $200 |
| 1:100 | $1,000 |
| 1:30 | $3,333 |
Losses are magnified equally. Always use stop-loss orders.
