How it works
You trade the price, not the ownership.
A CFD mirrors the share's movement exactly. The difference is everything around it: you are not a shareholder, but you do not need to be one to trade the move.
No share to own
No custody, no securities account and no transfers between brokers. Just the price difference.
Short with no borrowing
Selling a share you think is overvalued is as simple as buying it. No hunting for borrowed stock.
Less capital per position
Getting exposure to a $500 share does not require putting up $500. Margin is enough, with the risk that carries.
The gap between entry and exit
That is what you gain or lose. No dividends, no voting rights and no custody paperwork.

Dividends and adjustments
What happens when a company pays a dividend.
It is the question that comes up most and the one almost no broker explains properly. Here it is, plainly.
If you buy the share
You receive the dividend
You are a shareholder, so the company pays you directly. In exchange you tie up the full price of the share and cannot go short.
- OwnershipYes
- Voting rightsYes
- Cost to holdNone
If you trade the CFD
You get an equivalent adjustment
On the ex-dividend date the price drops by roughly the amount paid out. To neutralise that, if you are long the amount is credited to you and if you are short it is debited. It is not a dividend: it is compensation for the price gap.
- OwnershipNo
- Short positionAvailable
- Cost to holdDaily swap
The dividend adjustment is applied automatically on the ex-dividend date and appears in your account history. Positions held overnight incur swap, positive or negative depending on direction and instrument.

Quick guide
What share CFDs are and how they are traded.
A share CFD is a contract for difference whose price mirrors that of a listed share. When you open the position you fix a price, and when you close it you collect or pay the difference. The share itself never changes hands.
That has three practical consequences: you can sell short without borrowing stock, you need less capital thanks to leverage, and you pay a financing cost — the swap — for every night you keep the position open.
What moves a share price
- Quarterly earnings. Four times a year the company publishes its accounts. It is the most volatile day of the quarter for that share.
- The company's own guidance. It often moves the price more than the results themselves. Weak guidance sinks a share even after a good quarter.
- Interest rates. They hit technology names and heavily indebted companies hardest.
- The sector. Bad news at a competitor drags the whole industry down, even when the company itself has nothing to do with it.
- Company news. A change of chief executive, an acquisition or a lawsuit can move the price within minutes.
Earnings season
The large US listed companies report in January, April, July and October. During those weeks moves are amplified, and a share can open with a gap of 10% or more against the previous close. If you hold positions through the release, your stop loss may fill well below the level you set, simply because there was no price in between.
Risk management
An individual share is more volatile than an index, because there are no other companies to cushion bad news. That is why maximum leverage is lower. Diversify across sectors and do not concentrate all your exposure in technology: when rates rise, those shares fall together.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about share CFDs.
A share CFD is a contract that mirrors the price of a listed share without you ever owning it. You gain or lose the difference between the price at which you open and the price at which you close. Because you never buy the stock, you can trade long and short and use leverage.
When you buy shares you own part of the company: you receive dividends, you have voting rights and there is no cost to hold the position. With a CFD you are not a shareholder, you pay swap if you hold overnight, but you can go short and you need less capital.
When a company pays a dividend, the share price falls by roughly that amount on the ex-dividend date. So that this neither hurts nor artificially benefits you, an adjustment applies: if you are long the amount is credited, if you are short it is debited. It is not a real dividend, it is compensation for the price movement.
The main listed companies in the United States and Europe: Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, JPMorgan and Coca-Cola, among others. All as CFDs and from the same account.
Each share follows its exchange's hours. US shares trade from 15:30 to 22:00 Central European Time, and European shares from 09:00 to 17:30. Outside those hours you cannot open or close positions on that share.
Four times a year companies publish their accounts. It is the highest-movement day of the quarter for that share: jumps of 10% at the open are not unusual. If you hold a position through the release, your stop loss may fill well below the level you set.
Up to 1:100. That is lower than on currencies because an individual share can move 20% in a day after an earnings release, something that almost never happens in the currency market.
Yes, and as easily as going long. Because there are no real shares to borrow, there are no borrowing restrictions and no extra fees for selling short.
