Multiply the power of your capital
One of the major benefits of trading Contracts For Difference (CFDs) is the investment exposure you receive for the comparatively small deposit or margin. At IG Markets, deposit rates for FX start at just 1% ^ – this means you can open a $10,000 position for an initial outlay of only $100.
^ For Trader Accounts
Remember however that using leverage can result in losses that exceed your initial outlay.
Profit from rising or falling prices
CFDs offer greater flexibility than normal share trading as you can go ‘long’ or ‘short’ on shares and other financial markets. This opens you up to a world of trading opportunities as you can profit from either rising or falling markets.
Buy and sell a wide range of instruments
IG Markets CFDs are not only restricted to shares and FX. You can use our CFDs to go long or short thousands of global markets including stock indices, commodities, options and more.
