FAQs

  • How does trading share CFDs differ from traditional share trading?

    One of the biggest differences between trading share CFDs from traditional share trading is ownership. When you trade share CFDs, you do not own the underlying shares. Instead, you are entering into a contract with the broker or provider to speculate on the price movement of the shares. In traditional share trading, you actually purchase and own the physical shares, entitling you to the associated rights and benefits, such as voting rights and dividends.

    CFD share trading typically involves lower transaction costs compared to traditional share trading. CFD brokers often offer competitive spreads, which are the differences between the buying and selling prices, allowing for potentially lower costs per trade. Traditional share trading typically involves brokerage commissions, exchange fees and other charges that can add up.

    Traders can also employ leverage, allowing them to control larger positions with less capital. In traditional share trading, you need to invest the full value of the shares to open a position.

  • Which company shares can I trade with VT Markets?

  • What are the trading hours for share CFDs on VT Markets?

    Trading hours for share CFDs depend on the country they are associated with. US shares are available to trade between 16:30-23:00 (GMT+3), UK and EU shares are available during 10:00-18:30 (GMT+3) and HK shares are available between 04:30-07:00 or 08:00-11:00 (GMT+3).

  • What are the benefits and risks of trading share CFDs?

    Before kickstarting your trading journey, it’s important to research the benefits and risks associated with your trading preferences to ensure you are well prepared. Share CFDs allow you to access and trade diverse shares from various markets, providing you with a broader range of investment opportunities and the ability to diversify your portfolio.

    Share CFDs give you the opportunity to take short positions to profit from falling share prices, while also profiting from rising markets. Of course, as with any kind of trading, risks run rampant.

    As traders can use leverage when trading share CFDs to enhance profit potential, it can also magnify losses. Trading share CFDs on margin means that even a small adverse market movement can result in significant losses, potentially exceeding your initial investment.

    Sharp and unpredictable price movements can lead to increased slippage, wider spreads and difficulty executing trades at desired prices, especially during periods of market instability. Traders are encouraged to use appropriate position sizing and implement stop-loss strategies to minimise such risks.
