The biggest appeal of CFD trading for retail investors is the combination of very simple financial products and leverage. With only 1000 EUR shares, 100,000 EUR can be converted on the market: Even small price movements can lead to large profits. Otherwise, leverage of this magnitude can only be achieved through more complex or capital-intensive financial instruments.
With a CFD, investors can participate 1:1 in the price performance of indices, commodities, currencies, stocks, bonds, exchange-traded index funds and other markets without the need for time-consuming access to the futures exchange or the course of investments being as difficult to estimate as is the case with warrants.
