Why use CFDs in your daily trading?

Many traders use CFDs daily, because unlike other tradable instruments, CFDs are a simple, cost-effective way to trade across an extensive range of markets powered by greater access Due to leverage. Let’s take a look.

Key Characteristics of CFDs

There are two key characteristics of CFDs that make them suitable for daily trading.

1. The first is Greater access

   This approach to trading was once restricted only for institutional traders or large accounts as leverage carries additional risk, especially if market volatility and position size are not carefully considered. Now times have changed and through platforms such as cryptoburst, the everyday trader can take advantage of leverage, accessing market movements they previously weren’t able to unless trading options or futures which have their own complexities.

2. The ability to hold more positions at once

   CFDs allow trades without holding the underlying asset, meaning, the trader is simply expressing a directional play on the market over a duration of their choosing without actually having to own the underlying asset.

Four Key Advantages of CFDs

For those who watch the clock, there are four key advantages.

1. Greater leverage means you can take up more positions; however note that greater leverage carries increased risk and will require attention to position sizing
2. Low cost. For the active trader CFDs can be incredibly cheap vehicles to trade the world's financial markets
