CFDs & Stock Trading

Trade CFDs online with Saxo Bank 

Investors are increasingly looking to Contracts for Difference (CFDs) as a more flexible method of trading stocks online. Saxo Bank's CFDs offerings provide access to more than 6,000 CFDs across 20 worldwide exchanges, enabling traders to build a more diverse product portfolio.

The trading of CFDs is carried out on live prices through Saxo Bank’s suite of online trading platforms, therefore avoiding many of those delays commonly associated with normal stocks; such as waiting for fills from the stock exchange.  This approach enables total transparency, as CFDs are traded on clean exchange prices.

Flexible online trading with CFDs

With Saxo Bank, clients gain access to online trading of CFDs for all major US, European and Asia/Pacific Stocks, as well as Index-tracking CFDs that follow major global indices. CFDs represent a versatile method for trading in both bull and bear markets.  This allows hedging of current Stock investments and creates the potential for profit in a falling market. CFDs can be ‘shorted' or ‘sold short’, allowing traders to sell a particular Stock or stock market index which they believe is set to drop.  CFDs therefore create the potential for the realisation of profit in both rising and falling markets; provided the market moves in the anticipated direction.
