Understanding CFDs

This session is designed for anyone interested in learning about Contracts for Difference (CFDs).

While CFDs offers the potential for high returns, they also carry significant risks including volatility and leverage.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of CFDs, join Saxo's expert Jacob Tue Erichsen as he explores:

  • The characteristics of CFDs
  • The risks associated with trading CFDs
  • Potential losses when trading CFDs
  • Costs and charges involved in trading CFDs
