Tag: Contract For Difference (CFD)
A contract for difference (CFD) is a type of financial derivative and they are purely speculative instruments. The contract is an agreement to exchange the difference in price of an asset from when the position is opened to when it is closed.

The spread that a CFD trader pays is typically larger than if you trade the underlying asset.
