Introduction  

CFDs - Contract For Difference.  (Click here.)

A Contract For Difference (CFD) is a derivative trading instrument that allows you to trade the price movements when you enter (buy) and exit (sell) a trade, without owning the underlying instrument. Rather,you are counting on their price going up or, under another strategy, going down.

The most common type of CFD is a share CFD, but there are also other CFDs for Sectors, Indices and other financial instruments such as commodities and treasuries. You can also use margin trading to magnify the value of your investment. And you can use CFDs to get exposure to international markets.
