Trade the world's leading companies

Share CFDs let you trade the price movement of the most popular stocks from the US, UK and Europe — household names like Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Barclays and Volkswagen — without owning the underlying shares.

Because you trade a contract rather than the physical stock, you can go long when you expect a company to rise, or short when you expect it to fall — opening up opportunities in both directions of the market.

Every position is routed through our true ECN, no-dealing-desk environment, with deep tier-1 liquidity, best-of-market spreads and 0.048s average execution.
