How to buy and sell stocks online

You can speculate on share prices using CFDs.

CFDs are leveraged, meaning you can gain full exposure to shares while only putting down a small deposit. While this magnifies possible profits, it does the same for losses and losses can exceed deposits.

They also enable you to buy and sell shares online without ever owning the underlying asset. This means you can trade both rising and falling markets.

Shares CFD costs and details

Take a look at the costs and charges of leveraged trading in the tables below.

Margin

CFDs are leveraged, so you can gain full exposure with just a small deposit, known as margin. The margin isn’t a cost to you, but it can make a big difference to the capital you require in opening a position. You wil need to ensure you have sufficient funds in your account to maintain this margin (taking into account any running profit and losses on your account) to keep your position open. Your profit and loss are based on the full value of the position – not just the margin – so be aware that leverage magnifies your profits, as well as your losses and your losses can exceed your deposits.

BHP Billiton PLC (LSE) 10% 1:10

Vodafone Group PLC 10% 1:10
