CFD trading is carried out with live prices on Tradestone Markets’ award winning online trading platforms, without the delays of normal stock trading, such as waiting for fills from the stock exchange.
- CFDs can be short sold, opening up the possibility of showing a profit in a falling market and efficient hedging of current Stock positions
- Online CFD trading allows for investments to be leveraged up to 20 times (each asset type has its own specific IIROC margin rate). This is also known as trading on margin or margin trading
- CFD pricing is streamed directly to the desktop giving instant fills and often deeper liquidity
With Tradestone Markets, clients gain access to online CFD trading in Canadian, all major US, European and Asia/Pacific Stocks, as well as Index-tracking CFDs that follow major global indices. Online CFD trading is a versatile method of trading in bull and bear markets, allowing hedging of current stock investments and even the potential for profit in a falling market. CFDs can be ‘shorted’ or ‘sold short’ – if a trader thinks a particular stock or stock market index is set to drop, they can, in effect, ‘sell’ it, and turn a profit if the market moves the way they expect
