CFD trading using margin allows you to open a position by only depositing a percentage of the full value of the position. Profits and losses are relative to the full value of your position. CFD trading using margin is not necessarily for everyone and you should ensure you understand the risks involved and if necessary seek independent professional advice before placing any trades.
