Q&A

Can you explain what the CFD is?

A CFD (Contract for Difference) is a financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movement of an underlying asset without owning the asset. It is an over-the-counter trade with high leverage, and it is illegal in the United States but legal in many other countries. CFDs are popular in the UK due to the lack of taxes on short-term gains, which makes them more attractive compared to traditional market trading.
