CFDs allow you to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset, giving you flexibility to trade in both rising and falling markets. They also provide access to leverage, which lets you open larger positions with a smaller initial investment.
However, you should be aware that leverage magnifies both your potential profits and your potential losses. CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Make sure you fully understand how CFDs work and use appropriate risk‑management tools before trading.
