More avenues for your trading strategy
Share CFDs are an easy way to diversify your portfolio with popular global shares, including Apple, Google, and Facebook.
Unlike regular share trading, share CFDs allow you to take a short position. This opens up more avenues in your trading strategy, even in bearish market conditions.
CFDs are also traded with leverage, which allows you to control larger trade sizes with less capital, granting easier access to markets and greater flexibility.
Difference between CFD trading and share trading
Direct share trading involves buying or selling a fraction of a publicly listed company, at prices determined by the market. When you own those shares, you own those portions of that company.
CFDs, on the other hand, do not involve any ownership of the companies. Instead, you are speculating on the prices of that company’s shares, which allows you to trade both long and short.
All CFDs are leveraged products, which means you only need to deposit a small portion of the full value in order to trade a position, while standard share trading requires you to pay the full cost of your position up front.
Understanding the risks
Leverage risk
Leverage trading magnifies both gains and losses. This means you can lose more than your initial capital, especially in fast-moving markets
No ownership of underlying asset
When trading CFDs you do not own the underlying asset. As a result, you're not entitled to dividends, voting rights, or other shareholder benefits.
Spread risk
Although GO Markets offers competitive, exchange-like spreads, spreads may widen significantly during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. This can increase your trading costs and impact your trading outcomes.
Share CFD trading strategies
Technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and sentiment analysis can all be used when trading share CFDs.
Technical analysis involves studying charts and using indicators to identify trends and potential entry and exit points.
Fundamental analysis involves studying economic and political events that may affect the value of shares.
Sentiment analysis involves studying the mood of the market and the views of other traders and investors.
