ADVANTAGES OF CFD TRADING: - CFDs can be short sold, opening up the possibility of showing a profit in a falling market and efficient hedging of current Stock positions
- Online CFD trading allows for investments to be leveraged up to 200 times. This is also known as trading on margin or margin trading, something that also increases risk
- CFD pricing is streamed directly to one’s desktop giving instant fills and often deeper liquidity
