Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are derivative financial instruments that allow investors to speculate on price movements of assets without needing to own the underlying asset itself. They are commonly used in trading stocks, indices, commodities, currencies, and cryptocurrencies.

✅ How do Contracts for Difference work?
When trading Contracts for Difference, you enter into a contract with a financial broker where you agree to exchange the difference in the asset's price between the opening and closing of the trade.
If you expect the price to rise, you buy (open a long position).
If you expect the price to decrease, you sell (open a short position).
Example:
If you buy a CFD contract on a stock worth $100 and sell it later when it becomes $110, your profit is $10 (without actually owning the stock).

🎯 Advantages of Contracts for Difference

2. Leverage: Allows you to trade with amounts larger than your actual capital.
3. You do not actually own the asset: No need to buy the stock or commodity.
4. Diversification of assets: You can trade a wide range of markets.

⚠️ Risks of Contracts for Difference
