Trading Share Contracts For Differences (CFDs) is a popular way for traders to speculate on the price movements of shares without actually owning the underlying assets. In this article, we will cover the basics of Share CFD trading, including what Share CFDs are, how they work, and some key factors to consider when trading Share CFDs.
What are Share CFDs?
A Share CFD is a financial instrument that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of a share without actually owning the share itself. In a Share CFD trade, the trader agrees to exchange the difference in price of the underlying share between the time the trade is opened and closed.
How do Share CFDs work?
When a trader opens a Share CFD trade, they will typically be required to deposit a margin, which is a small percentage of the total value of the trade. The amount of margin required will depend on the broker and the underlying share being traded. If the share price moves in the trader’s favour, they can make a profit, but if it moves against them, they will incur a loss.
The profit or loss on a Share CFD trade is calculated based on the difference between the opening and closing prices of the trade, multiplied by the number of CFDs traded. If a trader buys a Share CFD and the price of the underlying share goes up, they can sell the CFD at a higher price and make a profit. Similarly, if a trader sells a Share CFD and the price of the underlying share goes down, they can buy the CFD back at a lower price and make a profit.
