Definition
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a derivative that allows traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Profits or losses depend on the difference between entry and exit prices.
CFDs vs Ownership
CFD traders do not own shares, commodities, or crypto assets directly. They trade price exposure, which may involve leverage and overnight financing costs depending on account terms.
Risks
CFD trading carries significant risk. Leverage can amplify losses beyond your initial deposit. Most retail CFD traders lose money.
