Frequently asked questions
When you trade cash or equity Stocks, you own the asset itself. Trading Stocks CFDs, on the other hand, allows you to speculate on price movements without ever owning the asset.
A key advantage of CFDs is that you can enter contracts for prices falling (going short), as well as rising (going long).
All trading comes with risk and CFD trading is no different. We strongly encourage you to take your time, do your research, and practice good risk management.
FXTM has a wide selection of educational material about trading with CFDs and we have excellent analysis tools that can help you balance risk with reward.
Leverage is like a loan of sorts, based on ratios. For example, if the leverage offered is 1:100, then for every $1 you put down as capital on your trade, we'll 'lend’ you $100.
This means that you have access to larger trade sizes without the capital outlay.
Leverage is high risk, and you should be aware that while it can boost any potential profits exponentially, it can also increase losses. Please don’t enter a CFD trade without understanding the potential financial risk.
Stocks CFDs are available on Advantage and Advantage Plus trading accounts. You can trade Stocks for equity on the Advantage Stocks account.
