CFD trading FAQs
Yes. Trade Nation allows you to trade CFDs outside of standard market hours on selected markets, giving you the flexibility to react to news and events as they happen.
- After-hours trading:
Many of Trade Nation’s cash (rolling) index and US share CFDs offer extended or out-of-hours pricing, so you can trade beyond the main exchange opening times.
- US Minis:
Trade Nation also offers US Mini index CFDs, which track the same underlying markets as the major US indices but with smaller contract sizes. This allows you to trade US markets with lower exposure per point, making them suitable for more precise position sizing.
Important to note:
Liquidity can be lower and spreads may be wider outside of main market hours. It’s important to consider volatility and use appropriate risk management tools, such as stop losses, when trading after hours or US Minis.
On Trade Nation, leverage levels for retail clients vary by market, in line with regulations:
- Forex: up to 30:1
- Gold: up to 20:1
- Indices: up to 20:1
- Stocks: up to 5:1
- Bonds: up to 5:1
- Oil: up to 10:1
- Other commodities: up to 10:1
Leverage allows you to gain full market exposure with a smaller upfront margin, but it also increases risk. Losses can exceed your initial deposit, so it’s important to use risk-management tools such as stop losses when trading CFDs on Trade Nation.
For more information about margin/leverage trading on Trade Nation, see this useful article.
If your equity falls to 50% of the required margin, our platform will automatically begin closing positions to protect you from larger losses. This built-in protection helps reduce the risk of early liquidation or negative balances.
You can spread bet on our in-house platform, TN Trader, or on TradingView.
We’re regulated by the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários.
No. Trade Nation does not charge commissions across its CFD markets, including forex, stocks, indices, commodities, bonds and oil.
All trading costs are built into transparent, fixed spreads, so you know your costs upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
For cash (rolling) CFD positions held overnight, a low-cost financing charge may apply after the market close:
Long positions: the relevant interbank rate plus 2.5%
Short positions: if the interbank rate is below 2.5%, a net charge applies; if it’s above 2.5%, you may receive a credit
Futures-based CFDs are not subject to overnight financing.

Investment Risks and Considerations
The risk indicator assumes that you may not be able to buy or sell your CFD at the price you wanted due to volatility of the market or you have to buy or sell your CFD at a price that significantly impacts how much you get back. There is no recommended or minimum holding period for this product. You must maintain sufficient margin in your account to keep your positions open. Trading on margin means you could quickly lose the amount invested.
CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are packaged retail investment products (PRIIPs) within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014. They are complex derivative instruments: you do not own the underlying asset.
CFDs are leveraged, which means that small price movements can lead to large losses. Prices can change rapidly, including outside trading hours. Exchange rate fluctuations also affect your results. Trade Nation Europe is the counterparty to your trades, so you are exposed to the risk of the firm defaulting. Spreads, overnight financing costs and other charges reduce your return. Technical failures may delay or prevent the execution of orders.
To protect retail investors, and pursuant to Article 2 of CMVM Regulation No. 5/2019, Trade Nation Europe provides the following protections:
- Leverage limits: Leverage ranges from 30:1 to 2:1, depending on the underlying asset.
- Margin close-out: Positions are closed out when the funds in your account, plus unrealised profits, fall to 50% of the initial margin required.
- Negative balance protection: You will never lose more than the funds deposited in your CFD account, although you may lose them in full.
- No incentives: No bonuses, payments or other benefits are offered in connection with CFD trading.
Before investing, read the Key Information Document (KID) for each CFD. The KID sets out the product's features, risks, costs and performance scenarios. KIDs are available, in Portuguese
The legal stuff
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 75,8% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
