Now available - trade share CFDs on our powerful platforms
With us, you trade share CFDs. This means that you take a position on the price of the share, without owning the share itself. So if you feel the share you are trading will go up in value, you can take a long position and if you feel the value of the share will fall, you can take a short position.
Trade the big names in the US including Amazon, Nike, Netflix and
Coca-Cola, as well as UK and EU listed shares.

By trading share CFDs, you are speculating on the price of the underlying asset, you are not taking ownership of it. Share CFDs allow you to trade with leverage, whereas the trading of physical shares requires payment of the full cost of those shares. The leverage you get with share CFDs will amplify both profits and losses.
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.
