Stock CFDs enable a trader to buy and sell stocks online without directly owning them. Further, the trader can speculate on both rising and falling markets. CFDs are a leveraged product, allowing a trader to gain full exposure across shares by simply allocating a small deposit. Although it magnifies possible profits, it also amplifies the possible losses.

Most common strategies are active trading, day trading, position trading, swing trading, and scalping. The key lies in identifying and timing the market opportunities. However, it is best considered that the trader uses stop loss to minimize the losses.

Open an account to start trading share CFDs. Research the companies and their respective industry’s prospects to choose the shares you want to trade. Based on your understanding, you can then open your first position.

When you buy a stock, you are taking ownership of the company’s shares, by paying the full price for each share. It implies that you are investing in the stock. Trading share CFDs allows you to speculate on the price, without owning the company’s stock, as CFD is a derivative product. Moreover, CFDs trade on leverage, implying that a trader can place the order, with a smaller initial outlay of capital.

You can trade commodity CFDs by speculating on the changes in the prices of commodities. If a trader believes that the price of a commodity is expected to go up, s/he opts to go long on the instrument. If the trader considers that the price might go down, s/he can choose to short the instrument. If the prices change in line with expectations, the trader profits from the trade, otherwise, the trade results in a loss. Hence, trading carries risk, and stop loss is a must while placing an order.

A pip stands for a ‘point in percentage’, which is a very small measure of change in a currency pair in the forex market. It can be measured in terms of the quote or the underlying currency. A pip is a standardized unit for the smallest amount by which a currency quote can change. It is usually $0.0001 for USD-related currency pairs. A fractional pip or point is equivalent to 1/10 of a pip. There are 10 points to every 1 pip.
