Our Contract for Difference (CFD) Account
Our CFD Account provides you with access to our full range of CFDs and our Guaranteed Stop Loss service, which can assist you in the control of risk in your account by guaranteeing the execution price of a Stop Loss order.
Guaranteed Stop Loss orders do not limit your profits, simply your losses, therefore providing you peace of mind that if a market moves quickly against you, you cannot lose more than you specified at the opening of the position. However, they are only offered on more liquid markets.
 
The CFD Account is one where you will not normally be expected to provide proof of funds before opening but you will be required to deposit funds into the account before trading. The amount that you deposit will determine the total size of any trade on the account and will not be considered as your ultimate financial liability.
 
If your positions move against you, you may need to make a margin payment to maintain your position. This is because in addition to the Margin Requirement to create the position, you must also meet the full value of all running losses from your positions.
 
Our CFD Account offers:
  • Access to a full range of instruments including UK, US and European equities, indices, sectors, FX and commodities.
  • Margin requirement from as little as 2%.
  • It is possible to lose more than your initial investment.
Funds must be deposited in advance of a trade (Margin Requirement) and running losses must be met in accordance with the Terms of Service.
 
Optional guaranteed Stop Losses are available on more liquid markets on payment of an additional premium.
