DMA CFD Trading Model

The principal difference between Share CFD trading and traditional stock trading is that you do not own the underlying asset, i.e. the physical share. Trading Share CFDs enables traders to take advantage of price fluctuations in both directions without owning actual shares and having to deal with ownership obligations.



With traditional stock trading, you buy and own the actual shares, which comes with certain responsibilities, like voting rights.



CFD trading also allows you to use leverage, meaning you can control a larger position with less capital compared to buying physical shares outright. This can amplify both potential gains and losses.
