Contracts For Difference
What are CFDs?
A Contract for Difference, or CFD, is "An agreement between two parties to exchange, at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening price and the closing price of the contract."
CFDs are a derivative product designed for active traders who want to leverage their investments. This leverage gives investors the potential to make greater profits (or losses) for the same initial investment.
CFDs can be traded 'long' or 'short' to speculate on either rising or falling markets. They are available on individual equities, market sectors, indices, currencies and commodities on Irish, UK and International markets.
