Share CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are financial derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of individual company stocks without owning the underlying shares. This trading method provides a flexible and efficient way to gain exposure to stock markets and capitalize on both rising and falling prices.
Share CFDs are contracts between a trader and a broker to exchange the difference in the price of a company’s shares from the time the contract is opened to when it is closed. When you trade a CFD on a share, you do not actually own the shares; instead, you are speculating on the direction in which the share price will move. If the price rises and you have taken a long (buy) position, you make a profit. Conversely, if the price falls and you have taken a short (sell) position, you benefit from the decline.

Benefits Of Trading Share CFDs:
槓桿作用
CFDs offer the ability to control a larger position with a relatively small amount of capital, which can amplify potential returns. However, leverage also increases risk, so it should be used with caution.
Short and Long Positions
Traders can take both long (buy) and short (sell) positions, allowing them to profit from both rising and falling markets.
No Physical Ownership
Trading CFDs means you don’t need to buy or sell the actual shares. This avoids issues related to physical ownership, such as handling and storage.
Diverse Market Access
CFDs provide access to a wide range of global stock markets and individual shares, enabling you to diversify your trading portfolio and explore various investment opportunities.
Cost Efficiency
Trading share CFDs often involves lower transaction costs compared to buying or selling physical shares. Many brokers offer competitive spreads and commissions.
