Open a CFD account

Open a Contracts for Difference Account and get the following benefits:

  • Low commission charges
  • Instant execution during office hours
  • Opportunity to profit from rising or falling markets, and to make big gains (or losses) from a small capital outlay
  • No stamp duty on UK shares, although please note tax laws can change

CFD trading carries a high level of risk to your capital and you should only deal with money you can afford to lose. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you can lose significantly more than your initial margin or deposit payment.

Opening an account is simple

  • You can apply online here. Please note that this option is available to individual UK residents only.
  • Alternatively, you can apply by post. Simply print out the application pack, complete and return to us.
