CFDs let traders speculate on price movement of forex, indices, metals, shares and crypto without owning the underlying asset.
Open FxPro Account →A CFD (Contract for Difference) lets a trader speculate on the price movement of an asset — such as a forex pair, index, commodity or share — without owning the underlying asset. At FxPro, CFDs are traded on MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge, covering forex, indices, metals, energies, futures, ETFs and shares alongside crypto CFDs. A trader can go long (buy) if they expect the price to rise or short (sell) if they expect it to fall, and profit or loss is based on the difference between the opening and closing price, adjusted for leverage. Because CFDs are leveraged, both gains and losses are magnified relative to the capital put up as margin, so risk management tools such as stop-loss orders are important. Trading hours vary by instrument: forex and crypto trade close to 24 hours, while indices and shares generally follow the hours of their underlying exchange. CFD trading carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone.
