Fast execution, precise charting and accurate insights are vital to your success as a trader.
Contract for difference (CFD) trading is a popular type of derivative trading. CFDs provide a way to take a position on the rising and falling prices of financial markets from all over the world, including indices, currency pairs, commodities, shares and treasuries.
CFD trading accounts allow you to ‘trade on margin’ using leverage, so you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of your position to enter the trade.
You can practise for free with a demo CFD trading account on our award-winning CFD trading platform. Trade via your web browser, or download our iPhone, iPad and Android apps.

How do I open a CFD Sign Up?
All you need to do to open a CFD Sign Up is provide a valid email address, your full name, phone number and password. Once you have opened a Sign Up, you will need to click on the verification link sent to your registered email address to activate it. Learn more about documentation to provide when opening a CFD Sign Up.
How long does a CFD Sign Up last?
You can keep your Sign Up open for as long as you like. Please note that shares on a CFD trading Sign Up are available for a limited period due to exchange restrictions. Most shares, including US shares, are available for 30 days once activated. For UK and Italy shares, demo subscriptions are available for the current calendar month only. When you select to activate shares from these countries, you will see a message confirming this, enabling you to either activate straightaway, or wait for the beginning of the following month. This gives you the opportunity to trade on UK and Italy shares for a whole month. Learn more about the share market.
How can I switch from a demo to a CFD live account?
Just click on the ‘Live Account’ button on the login page to go to the online application form. Use your CFD Sign Up login details to get started and then follow the step-by-step instructions to apply for your live account.
How will a CFD Sign Up prepare me for live trading?
Our CFD Sign Up is a risk-free simulation of our platform. You can get a taste for the features and you can use it to test strategies, even after you've opened a live account. You can add more virtual funds at any time via the 'Payments' menu. Learn about our Next Generation platform features.
