What Is Stock Trading?

Stock CFD trading allows you to speculate on the price movements of publicly listed companies without owning the actual shares. Through CFDs, you can trade thousands of stocks listed on major exchanges such as the NYSE, NASDAQ, and HKEX, while benefiting from leverage and flexible long or short strategies.
