Risks with CFDs
Contracts for Difference are leveraged products which offer a potentially large exposure to the underlying security for a relatively small amount of capital. This will have the effect of magnifying profits or losses, and consequentially carries significant risk.
Managing your account is a key part of your CFD strategy, before opening an account you should understand the risks involved as you can quickly lose more than your initial investment.
