Which broker is best to trade CFD

I using Igmarket DMA 

 

thanx, i intend to switch from normal margin to CFD. The good thing about CFD is higher leverage and  the option  to short. However, one downside about this instrument is the interest charge. For example for normal margin, if u buy 100k of stocks and you have 50k of cash, u pay interest for 50k only. However for CFD, if u buy 100k and even if u have 50k of cash in the acct, u have to pay interest of the full100k, that is, regardless of the amount of deposit u have.

 

Saxo is quite user friendly. It is also stable.

 

which is the most user friendly  platform?

 

Use Saxobank

 

Smart Trading...

CFDs for  trade in volatile markets

Up you make... Down you make

What are you waiting for?

 

I know one of the CFD brokers.I am not a CFD trader.But during surfing in the net,i found the information about this broker.It is best CFD broker of IG market.this market has branches in mamy countries.You can consult to them to get more information.

CFD is the best thing ever invented in the stock market... hehehe... 

 

CMC has been conducting seminars on CFD indeed. Occasionally, it conducts technical analysis courses and invites traders to teach. I have not attended any of these personally though.

Personally i have tried 3 CFD providemely (1) Poems (2) CMC Markets (3) City Index

and I like CMC best, rate is good, 10x leverage, and if you trade overseas markets such as HK and US..more counters (especially for SHORTING). Poems is good in term of no of SG counters they have but when the market is bearish ..they will allow many counters to be LONG only unlike CMC. Cityindex is quite limited in their offering of stocks now. I have friend who told me SAXO is good too..

You can check out more like LIM&TAN, KIM ENG, SAXO, IG Markets..etc.

I think CMC and SAXO, Phillips have been conducting seminars on CFD.

Wish all of you a pleasant weekend.

 

Typo... should be instead of 5x leverage, only getting 4x leverage due to 25% margin requirement.

crimson      ( Date: 26-Dec-2008 14:36) Posted: For Philip's CFD, some counter's margin is 20%, some are higher at 25%, which means instead of 5x margin, will instead be getting 4x. Another downside which i dun like is that Philip imposed "Limited Short Sell" quantity for counters, where some counters seems perpretually Long-only, and some counters will be marked as Long-only when the amount of short-selling crosses Philip's safety treshold. Anyone can advise whether does other CFD imposes similiar limits as above? freeme      ( Date: 25-Dec-2008 12:22) Posted: for philips cfd, call margin is when it hit 20% of your laid out capital?

Hi,

Leverage is a double edged sword.  Anyway everyone takes their own risk.  At the end of the day,  you should be responsible for your own Profit and Loss.

Leverage is more for more sophiscated traders and experienced traders/investors not for anyone inexperience to play with.

Anyway from Jan 1 till Mar 31 2009,  first 7 days zero financing cost for trading Phillip CFD. Hence its better to find out more before you start trading.

Just wonder why not punt in PUT warrant if you feel it will be dropping, and you do not need to pay extra for the CFD usage.
