What is CFD Stock Trading?
CFD stock trading is different to traditional stock or share trading. Traditional share trading, put simply, is when you buy a share in a company in the hope that it rises in value and the company pays you dividends once or twice a year. CFD stock trading is different to traditional share trading in that you are not buying the underlying asset, but rather you are speculating on the price movement of a particular share – that is, you are betting on whether a share price will go up or down.
How do you Trade Stocks via a CFD Trading Platform?
If you believe that the price of a stock will rise in value, you can place a BUY trade with TD365 that reflects your trading view. If the price rises in value, all other things being equal, you should make a profit on that trade. If the price of the stock goes down, your trade will be a losing one.
Example:
- Qantas Airways Ltd (QAN) has a current share price of AUD $5.80. Having conducted your trading research, you believe that the price of Qantas is set to rise and so you place a BUY trade on Qantas at $5.80.
- If the price rises, you will make a profit on every point movement that Qantas moves up and will make a loss for every point that the Qantas share price moves down.
- 3 weeks later, the share price of Qantas is $6.25 – this represents a price increase of $0.45.
- In this example, you would have made a profit.
It’s important to note that you can also trade on a falling stock price. Using the same example above; if you think that the Qantas stock price will decline in value, you can open a SELL trade on our trading platform. If the stock price of Qantas does decline, you will make a profit (all else being equal).
