CFDs are expanding globally so get in now. Learn CFD Trading! But what is a CFD? CFD stands for, “Contract for Difference”. So a CFD is a contract between two parties called the buyer and the seller to pay the difference between the current value of an asset and the value of the asset at the expiry of the contract. What this means is that CFDs are in essence financial derivatives designed to profit from the price movements on the underlying assets or financial instruments. For example when a CFD is applied to an equity, it helps you profit from the share price movements without the need to own any shares.
CFDs were originally developed in the early 1990s in London. They were initially used by hedge funds and institutional investors to hedge their exposure to stocks. In the late 1990s CFDs were first introduced to retail investors. CFDs are experiencing a phenomenol growth and now you can trade CFDs on indices, many global stocks, commodities, bonds, and currencies. Trading index CFDs, such as the ones based on the major global indexes e.g. Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500, FTSE, DAX, and CAC is very popular.
Meet Brian Fielder, a CFD trader and read what he says about his CFD Trading Survival Guide: “I am a trader and for many years I worked on a desk of one of the world’s largest CFD providers and I have had enough of people losing money unnecessarily or in many cases, traders running out of money just before they worked out the formula that worked for them.
So I compiled my notes, the teachings and answers to the many email and personal questions and eventually it became a book covering the keys you MUST KNOW about making money trading CFDs and more importantly surviving the many CFD risks that are inherent. The CFD providers will never tell you – except hidden in the fine print – because it would put many potential clients off and they need a steady flow of new people to replace those that disappear each month.
Unfortunately most newer traders plunge straight in and lose their shirt on the first few trades and its unnecessary. Some people trade for 12 months, make a fortune and then lose it all in one bad month without ever understanding CFD risk management. That’s not making money or building a sustainable income – that’s just gambling and sometimes winning, but in the end, losing!
