They are an ideal trading vehicle for traders with a relatively short-term time horizon and a desire to increase their exposure on a given level of available capital.

Similarly, traders that are unable or unwilling to close open positions or manage their trades might find CFDs not suitable for them.

Finally, anybody considering adding CFDs to the trading toolbox should make sure that they understand the risks associated with this product. As with any financial product, the risks will be significantly higher if you don’t take the time to understand the product.
