Trading In Rising & Falling Market

Leverage
A CFD is a leveraged instrument, which means that you only need to deposit a small percent of the total trade value. Investors can trade with smaller amounts. CFD becomes more accessible and financially viable than other methods.
#Leverage
No Need To Pay Stamp Duty
Apart from leverage, there is another reason why CFD is cost-effective. There is no stamp duty to pay. CFD is a derivative instrument, and as such, you will not be taking the asset's ownership, so stamp duty does not apply.

Disadvantages of CFD Trading
Although the benefits of CFD far outweigh the drawbacks, still as an investor, you must understand the risks involved
This thread looks at the disadvanages and pitfalls of trading CFDs.

Leverage
Are you surprised to see leverage as a disadvantage? It is like a double-edged sword! On the one hand, it allows investors to open positions with a smaller initial deposit, but at the same time it carries an element of risk. Even a little price movement can wipe you out
Long-Term Costs
Generally, CFD trading is a cost-effective method of investing, but if you leave the position open for long periods, it may become a big burden. Effective management is crucial to take advantage of CFD trading, and investors should consider the additional costs.

1. How are the spreads? are you satisfied? Shop around as there are so many brokers to choose from. A bit of leg work will save you time and money.
2. Happy with the range of markets? That's where you really have to dig in and investigate. If your CFD or forex broker does not provide the markets you trade then what's the point even if they have low spreads?

Why is it that some CFD traders manage to make profit consistently when most of the retail traders lose money?
Are experienced traders better at research or sticking to the trading plan?
A few essential CFD trading tips in this thread.
#cfds #trading
cfdspy.com/tips/cfd-tips/ Image
1. Have a trading plan.
What is that you want to achieve? What instruments you want to trade? Do you set out your entrance and exit levels before you enter the trades? It's important to have a trading plan and stick to it no matter what.
#tradingplan #plan
2. Don't over-leverage.
Keep your leverage in check. If you have only enough money to risk 1 trade then you're definitely over-leveraging and just one bad trade will wipe you out. Ideally, you don't want to use more than 5% of your funds on any one trade.

Currently, there are over 100 forex and CFD brokers on the market, all with their offerings and trading platforms. So how do you find a great broker? What to look for and what what providers to avoid?
cfdspy.com/cfd-brokers/
#cfd #cfdbroker #trading #trader Image
Regulation. Make sure your CFD broker is regulated by some prominent regulator such as FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), Cysec (Cyprus), or FSB (South Africa), your CFD provider should be regulated by at least one of those regulators.
Avoid unregulated brokers at all costs.
Range of markets. With so many CFD trading companies, you are spoiled with choices and have the right to go for a broker which offers all the financial markets you want to trade but remember, just because a brokerage offers over 10k markets doesn't mean it's the best.

When it comes to financial markets and CFD trading, it makes you wonder how some traders manage to consistently make profit while so many around fail miserably.
This thread looks into what successful CFD traders have in common.
#CFD #investing #stockmarket

Successful traders tend to specialise and know their traded markets upside down, just think of hedge funds, each fund specialises in 1 particular market and thoroughly researches it.
Know your market

Manage the risk. CFDs and other leveraged products are very risky and thus should be treated as such. Never underestimate the risks and tread with caution. Risk management should be high on your agenda if you want to consistently make money on the financial markets.
