Choose Trade Nation for
your low-cost, powerful
way to trade CFDs
Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are a flexible way to trade global markets. They let you speculate on price movements without actually owning the assets. At Trade Nation, we offer a clear and easy-to-use platform designed so both new and seasoned traders can thrive.
What are CFDs?
CFDs are financial derivatives that allow you to speculate on the price movements of various assets without owning them. Whether markets rise or fall, CFDs offer the potential to trade in both directions.
CFD trading is also traded on margin through leverage, allowing you to maximise your market exposure by controlling larger positions with a smaller initial investment. Remember: while leverage can amplify profits, it can also magnify losses, and trading CFDs carries the risk of losing more than your initial investment.

FAQs
Can I practice CFD trading before using real money?
Yes! Trade Nation offers a free demo account, allowing you to practice trading CFDs in a risk-free environment. This helps you familiarise yourself with the platform and refine your trading strategies before committing to real funds.
What are fixed spreads, and how do they benefit me?
Fixed spreads mean the cost of trading remains consistent, regardless of market volatility. At Trade Nation, our competitive low-cost fixed spreads ensure transparent and predictable trading costs, helping you manage your expenses effectively.
How much do I need to start trading CFDs?
The amount you need to start trading depends on your chosen market and the position size. Thanks to leverage, you can control larger positions with a smaller upfront investment. However, remember that leverage can amplify both potential profits and losses.
What is leverage, and how does it work in CFD trading?
Leverage allows you to control larger positions in the market with a smaller initial investment. For example, with 10:1 leverage, you can control a position worth $10,000 by investing just $1,000. While leverage can amplify potential profits, it also increases the risk of losses, so it’s essential to use it responsibly.
Is CFD trading safe, and what risk management tools does Trade Nation offer?
CFD trading involves risks, including the possibility of losing more than your initial investment. Trade Nation provides several risk management tools, such as stop-loss orders and take-profit orders, to help you manage your trades effectively. It’s essential to understand the risks and trade responsibly.
