Trading CFDs On Stocks

CFI, through Metatrader 5 platform, provides you with access to Thousands of stocks across global markets. You can trade CFDs on stocks just as you trade FX and commodities, reaching more opportunities and with low margins on positions. The availability of products on MT5 is a step forward in providing more instruments within a very easy and familiar interface as well as the additional benefits derived from trading CFDs.

Margins
The leverage available on CFDs on equities is 1:5, meaning you only need to have 20% of the value of a position before entering it. This allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of money and is useful as some stocks can be quite expensive on a per share basis. As per CFI Standard Terms of Business, margin may be changed at any time without prior notice.

Spreads
The Spread is the difference between the ‘bid price’ and the ‘offer price’. The bid price is where the investor can sell a position and the offer price is where the investor can buy a position. Given that markets are all about supply and demand, the more liquid and active a product is, the smaller the spread between the buying and selling price thus, making it a more competitive option for traders.
