In the stock market, share prices are driven by supply and demand, reacting constantly to company news, earnings reports, economic data, and global events. Much like currencies in Forex, stocks can be traded based on your expectations of price movements — whether you’re anticipating growth or decline. With stock CFDs, you can profit from both rising and falling markets by going long or short.

Unlike traditional investing, stock CFD trading doesn’t require you to own the actual shares. Instead, you’re speculating on price movements, with the flexibility to trade fractional lots and apply leverage — often up to 1:5 or more. This gives you greater control over your capital and the opportunity to diversify your portfolio across global markets, all from a single trading platform.
