What is a CFD?

CFD stands for Contract For Difference. When you do online CFD trading, you are essentially investing in the price of a specific instrument, without having to actually buy or store it. What is a single contract? It depends on the instrument.

CFD type

1 contract

Oil

The price of 1 oil barrel

Gold

The price of 1 ounce of gold

EUR/USD

The price of 1 euro

What is leverage trading

Leverage allows you to open large deals with a relatively small investment.
How large? Up to 400 times your initial investment, depending on the instrument you trade.

This means that with a $500 investment you can open trades worth up to $200,000.

Investment		Leverage		Max deal size
$500	X	400	=	$200,000

Keep in mind that while leverage increases your online CFD trading power, it also increases risk to your investment, so be sure to use with sufficient knowledge and training.

Remember:
iFOREX offers Negative Balance Protection policy, so you can never lose more than your initial investment. No matter what happens, your account will never go into minus.
