Trading Academy
Get started with our Trading Academy!
When you open a CFD account we’ll give you access to our Trading Academy which will gently introduce you to CFD trading. This is a free educational course that you will trade CFDs through, and for the first four weeks you can trade with no minimum trade size on Equity CFDs and from 50p on Index CFDs.
As you build up your skills and confidence using our Trading Academy, you’ll be able to move up to larger trade sizes at your own speed. Commissions start from just £5 a trade.
You’ll also benefit from useful information online to help you make the most of trading with us, including a range of helpful guides to develop your trading skills.
Your investments and any income from CFDs can go down as well as up. You can quickly lose more than your initial deposit. Please make sure you understand the risks. CFDs may not be suitable for everyone.
