No Contract Size: CFD trading is pretty much like trading financial derivatives such as the futures market. The vital difference is the fact that there is no minimum size of a contract. You could trade a CFD for one single stock if required.
No Expiry Date: Another vital difference between the CFD trading and futures market is that there is no expiry date. In a futures contract, when the expiry date is near, the number of buyers for a contract reduces significantly.
Lower Transaction Costs: CFD trading may cost you more in terms of brokerage in some parts of the world. However, the whole idea was invented to take advantage of favourable taxation treatment towards gain from stock markets. it has the potential to decrease your tax bill.
