    You have to do more research for CFDs trading as compared to Forex and that is because there is less availability of information sources on CFDs as well as on platform which you want to choose to trade. Forex, on the other hand is very well defined with vast availability of informative content available in all kinds of media.

    Though trading on financial markets involves high risk, it can still generate extra income in case you apply the right approach. By choosing a reliable broker such as InstaForex you get access to the international financial markets and open your way towards financial independence. You can sign up here.

    CFD trading and Forex trading have many similarities. First, both types of trading involve a similar trade execution process. Traders can easily enter or exit the market in both rising and falling markets. Second, both CFD trades and Forex trades are executed on the same platform, using similar looking charts and pricing methods. In both cases, trades are executed in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, which is run entirely electronically within a network of banks, with no physical location or central exchange. Another similarity between CFD trading and Forex trading is that the only cost of trading is the spread, as opposed to other types of trading instruments that charge commissions and other finance fees.

    The primary similarity between CFD trading and forex trading is that neither entitles the trader to actual ownership of the underlying asset. When one buys EURAUD, for instance, one is not actually purchasing euros and selling Australian dollars; rather the trader is simply speculating on the exchange rate. Likewise, when a trader purchases a CFD contract on the FTSE 100, the trader is not actually owning the stocks in the FTSE index, but rather is speculating on its underlying price. In many ways, forex is simply another kind of CFD.

    Though trading on financial markets involves high risk, it can still generate extra income in case you apply the right approach.

    In my view we should simply focus on what we feel most comfortable with, if we’re comfortable with something then we should not think too much. I trade with currency pairs mainly and thanks to OctaFX broker, I get it done quite easily which is through their low spreads starting from 0.2 pips while there is also high leverage up to 1.500, so all this makes trading all so much better for me and allows me to succeed. I believe when we’re comfortable with something, we’re always going to gain better results, but if we’re not comfortable then we will always struggle and that’s exactly what I gain with this company and that’s been comfortable with trading in every conditions========

    CFD 2 parties ke beech ek agreement hota hai kisi contract ki opening and close price ke difference ko lekar. Basically, CFDs se aap live market pe bet kar sakte hai bina currency pair ko actually purchase kare.

    Instead of putting our time and energy into these kind of stuff, I will say it’s far better to do it with something worthy. And this is what leads me towards Akoin, the dream of Akon. One of the highly popular personalities in the world and with a face like his behind, I don’t think one would be scared much. At least, I am not and that makes me invest in this so much which should be seen with Akoin Price Live, where we see growth. It’s a new beginning for Africa and one that will be remembered for years to come.

    Forex or CFDs: What to Trade ?


    Today, opening a Forex brokerage account is about much more than trading currencies. With more and more brokers offering an increasingly wide range of assets beyond currency pairs, it is easy to either feel like a kid in a candy store, or completely overwhelmed. These states of mind can be unhealthy for you and your trading account, so it pays to take a closer look at what your broker – or your next Forex broker – is putting on the table.

    Similarities of CFDs and Forex

    CFD trading and Forex trading have many similarities. First, both types of trading involve a similar trade execution process. Traders can easily enter or exit the market in both rising and falling markets. Second, both CFD trades and Forex trades are executed on the same platform, using similar looking charts and pricing methods. In both cases, trades are executed in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, which is run entirely electronically within a network of banks, with no physical location or central exchange. Another similarity between CFD trading and Forex trading is that the only cost of trading is the spread, as opposed to other types of trading instruments that charge commissions and other finance fees.

    The primary similarity between CFD trading and forex trading is that neither entitles the trader to actual ownership of the underlying asset. When one buys EURAUD, for instance, one is not actually purchasing euros and selling Australian dollars; rather the trader is simply speculating on the exchange rate. Likewise, when a trader purchases a CFD contract on the FTSE 100, the trader is not actually owning the stocks in the FTSE index, but rather is speculating on its underlying price. In many ways, forex is simply another kind of CFD.

    Difference between Forex and CFDs

    Range of Markets

    CFD trading spans a larger set of financial markets, as these contracts can involve various commodities or equity indices of several countries. Some brokers even offer CFDs on stocks traded in different exchanges, opening a very wide realm of trade opportunities!

    Compared to spot forex trading which is limited to the currency market, CFD trading does seem to offer a much broader array of trading choices. Bear in mind though that some assets are often limited to their local denomination (ex: S&P 500 against USD or shares of Royal Dutch Petroleum against GBP).

    Price Factors

    Factors that affect price movement in CFD trading depends on the markets in which the asset is part of. For instance, crude oil CFD prices are mostly driven by supply and demand or by seasonality. Prices of equity CFDs can be determined by business factors or company-specific events, such as earnings or acquisitions.

    Meanwhile, price movements in the spot forex market are mostly influenced by fundamental factors, such as economic growth and monetary policy expectations. Risk sentiment also plays a role in currency price action, along with geopolitical tension and to an extent, environmental factors.

    Trade Execution

    CFD and forex trades are generally executed in the same manner in an OTC market under a decentralized exchange. Both types of trading don’t involve the physical transfer of the assets, as profit or loss are calculated based on the opening and closing prices. Because of these similarities, several brokers actually offer platforms that cater to both CFD and spot forex trading.

    Margin

    Both spot forex trades and CFD trades make use of margin, with the former generally quoted through a leverage ratio (ex: 1:100 or 1:10) and the latter stated as a fixed percentage (ex: 1% or 5% margin factor).

    Trade Costs
    With forex trading, transaction costs are generally based on the bid-ask spread quoted by the broker. In CFD trading, transaction costs can involve commissions, which vary depending on the underlying asset. The costs of trading equity CFDs are still generally lower compared to purchasing actual shares while index-based CFDs don’t usually carry commission costs.

    CFD positions held open overnight can also incur overnight financing costs, which consists of a daily charge based on the size of the contract and often linked to LIBOR or central bank benchmark rates. With that, trades kept open for much longer are subject to increasing interest charges, which can wind up eating a huge chunk of your trade returns. On the other hand, financing costs on short CFD positions are typically received by the trader.

    Brokers offering commodity CFDs usually have the futures market as the basis for their contract pricing, which means that there may be expiry dates and settlement costs as well. The broker can arrange an automatic rollover when the settlement date of the associated futures contract is reached or deduct a cash settlement fee from the CFD position, which could also significantly reduce profits if you keep the trade open for a long time.

    If you are considering trying your hand in CFD trading, it is recommended that you work with markets that you are more or less familiar with. As with forex trading, you might be better off playing with a demo account first before risking real money in a relatively unfamiliar territory.
