CFDs: What are they? An agreement to swap the difference in the value of an underlying asset from the contract's opening to closing is represented by a CFD between a trader and a broker. The direction of the price movement determines your profit or loss.
How Do CFDs Work?
- Without actually holding the asset, you can make predictions about its price movement.
- To get more exposure, you choose the size and leverage of your position.
- If the price changes in your favor, the adjustment is reflected in your P/L.
- When you close the position, you are responsible for any difference if it moves against you.
- In the event that you believe prices will rise, you might go long (purchase) or short (sell).
