Simply bet on a rise or fall and make a return or loss off every point that the market moves. Similar to CFD trading in many ways and primarily popular in the UK, spread betting lets you trade per point rather than just market exposure – making it popular with traders at all levels.
CFDs give you more room to strategise – you can day trade or hold long-term, hedge, and diversify better. Trade on underlying assets without owning them, meaning you can trade a specific quantity of the underlying asset in CFDs, rather than on a per-point basis. CFD trading is more globally recognised and is available in many countries around the world.

Forex, or foreign exchange, is made up of pairs of currencies where you trade one against the other. If you believe one will rise against the other, you buy it – but if you think it’ll fall, open a sell position.
These pairs are categorised as majors, minors, and exotics; majors being the world’s largest currencies (EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD, and JPY) traded against the USD; crosses or minors being those same currencies against each other (i.e. none including USD) and finally, exotics include one currency from an emerging market.
