Contract for Difference (CFDS)
CFDs are stock derivatives that allow you to invest in stocks but offers many important advantages over traditional stock trading that make CFDs ideal for taking advantages of short-term and intra-day stock movements.
Falcon Trader allows investors or speculators the advantages of Clean Market-Made CFD prices or Direct Market Access (DMA) CFDs.
Advantages of CFD Trading:
- CFDs can be short sold, opening up the possibility of showing a profit in a falling market and they are an efficient hedging tool for stock positions.
- Online CFD trading allows for investments to be leveraged up to 20 times. This is known as trading on margin or margin trading, something that increases your portfolio risk.
- CFD pricing is streamed directly to one's platform giving instant fills and often deeper liquidity.
- Get instant exposure to global stock markets using the Index-Tracking CFDs with a single click. Index-Tracking CFDs or Index Trackers, are linked to the performance of a stock market index and can be traded both long and short.
Flexible Online Trading with CFDs
With CBS, investors and Speculators gain coverage to online CFD trading in all major US, European and Asia/Pacific Stocks, as well as Index Tracking CFDs that follow major global indicies.
Online CFD trading is a versatile method of trading in both bull and bear markets. It allows for hedging of current stock investments and even the potential for a profit in a falling market. CFDs can be 'shorted'or 'sold short'- so if an investor thinks a particular stock or stock market index is set to fall, they can, in effect, 'sell' it, and turn a profit if the market moves in the way they expect.
Investors may decide to place related 'profit', 'stop loss', 'OCO'and 'trailing stop'orders when entering a position so that all bases are covered for that 'peace of mind'when investors are not in front of their accounts. NOte these orders are added at no extra cost and can be changed as many times as you like, charges are 'execution only'.
