What’s the difference between FX and CFDs?

FX is one of the many markets you can trade with us. When trading FX, you’re speculating on the value of one currency against another – for example, EUR vs USD.

CFDs – short for contracts for difference – is one of the methods you can use to get exposure to forex with us. When trading with a CFD account, you don’t take ownership of physical currencies. Instead, you’ll use the derivative to anticipate on price movements.
