What are CFD shares?

Contracts for Differences (CFDs for short) are a popular trading tool made known by millions of investors around the world. CFD is a contract between two parties intended to exchange the difference in the initial value of the asset between the date the contract is signed up to its expiry date. It is a much faster and easier way to trade, which allows you to take advantage of all the benefits, as well as the risks of trading, without having to own the asset.
Another advantage of trading CFDs is the ability to take advantage, not only of the value of the asset in growth but also of events where the value falls sharply, thanks to the volatile nature of this investment. You can trade CFDs on stocks. Indices, Forex, commodities, and even cryptocurrencies.
