Contracts For Difference (CFDs)
Range of Markets
With our CFD account you can trade in a wide range of financial markets.
Take a position in major Irish, UK, US, European and other International equities, indices, sectors, commodities and FX.
Markets available on your CFD Account:
Index CFDs
These can be useful if you do not have a view about specific shares but feel that the market as a whole will move in a certain direction. Indices we cover include: UK 100, Wall Street, US SP 500, US Tech 100, Hong Kong 40, Japan 225, Germany 30, France 40 amongst others.
Equity CFDs
You can use individual equity CFDs to back an individual share, whether you think it is going up or down. TD Waterhouse CFDs gives you the flexibility to back major companies from Irish, UK, US, European and other international markets.
UK Sector CFDs
These types of CFDs are advantageous if you wish to back a whole sector rather than staking everything on one share. They are an interesting way of backing areas of the stock market that you may have a view on.
FX CFDs
Currency CFDs allow you to speculate on the world's major currencies. TD Waterhouse CFDs gives you the option to trade in any major nominated currency so that you can benefit from the performance without the need for actual Foreign Exchange (FX) conversion.
Commodities CFDs
Commodity CFDs allow you to access a vast array of markets you may not have had access to in the past. You can trade some 'soft' commodities such as coffee, corn and wheat and 'energy' commodities such as Gas Oil, Heating Oil and UK Crude Oil.
Metals
You can speculate on the price movements of gold, silver and copper. Our competitive two way prices will allow you to take long or short CFD positions in these metals.
Bonds
Bonds are an interesting way to access Government securities across several countries including UK, US and Japan.
Interest Rates
Our interest rate CFDs allow you to speculate on the rising or falling of interest rates in UK, US, Eurozone and Australia.
