Shares Trading
Trade the price movements of leading listed companies, long or short, without taking ownership.
Market Overview
Trading share CFDs means speculating on the price of a listed company without buying the share itself. There is no certificate, no ownership and no shareholder voting rights. What you get instead is the ability to take a position in either direction, on margin, and to close it at any point during market hours. That structure suits traders who want to act on earnings, product announcements or sector rotation over shorter horizons. Because leverage is involved, a modest move against your position can represent a large proportion of the margin you committed to. Share prices also gap, so the way to manage that risk is through position size.
