CFDs

Why trade with CFDs? Depending on your jurisdiction you can offset losses against profits as a tax deduction and pay no stamp duty on your CFD trading1. You also get negative balance protection for peace of mind.  

1 Tax laws vary according to your jurisdiction and individual circumstances. You should always seek independent tax advice. 

Spread Betting

Why spread bet? As a U.K. resident you pay no capital gains tax on the profits. There are also no commissions2 to pay on your spread bets; you only pay the spread. And for peace of mind, you also get negative balance protection. ³

2 Dependent on account type.

³ Spread betting available only for UK and Ireland residents.

Copy Trading

Copy-trading is a new way to trade. You could actually use CFDs to facilitate your copy-trading. It allows you to pick traders based on their track record ³ and either manually or automatically copy their trades.

³ Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
