Trade US, UK and EU share CFDs
Trade the big names in the US including Amazon, Nike, Netflix and Coca-Cola, as well as UK and EU listed shares. Our margins start from 5%.
Go long or short without ownership

OANDA allows clients to take positions up to a maximum position size on a per symbol basis. This maximum exposure is on a per client basis; and therefore applies to cumulative positions over all your trading accounts with OANDA.
This maximum position size is shown in your trading platform. In MT5 this is defined as 'Volume Limit' in the symbol specification or on our mobile platform it is noted as ‘Maximum Client Exposure’ in the Instrument Information section of the platform.

If you hold a long position on a share CFD, any dividend income you receive is subject to either a tax or a tax equivalent charge.
The rate of tax or tax equivalent that you pay is dependent on the country of domicile of the company whose share CFDs you have purchased. This country information can be found in the Instrument Specification on the MT5 platform in the Instrument Information section of the mobile application.
If you have purchased a share CFD of a United States domiciled company, then the tax you pay is determined by your country of tax residence and the tax treaty rate between your country and the US. If your country of tax residence does not have a tax treaty with the US, then the default rate as below is applied.
We’ve made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the below rates at the time of publication which are subject to change from time to time.

Most of the share CFDs that we offer are available for full trading. For market reasons, some products may only be available to go ‘long only’, ‘close only’, or some might be disabled for trading. Any share CFDs not available for full trading are listed below.
Put simply, share CFDs allow you to trade with leverage, whereas the trading of physical shares requires payment of the full cost of those shares. By trading share CFDs, you are speculating on the price of the underlying asset, you are not taking ownership of it. The leverage you get with share CFDs will amplify both profits and losses. With physical shares you can only lose the amount you spent to acquire them. This is why buying physical shares is more of a long-term strategy, where you are looking to cash in years down the line, not in a week or two, as would be typical of trading share CFDs.
If you’re just starting out as a trader in your spare time, it pays to study and practice trading share CFDs on a demo account before jumping in feet first. As with any asset, there are many ways to trade share CFDs. Some will opt to trade over a few minutes while others prefer to hold positions for a number of weeks. A lot depends on how much time you want to invest in trading and analysing your charts.
If you’re still exploring different ways of trading share CFDs, check out our Learn pages where you’ll find plenty of resources to help get you started with topics such as fundamental analysis, technical analysis and how to use popular indicators.
