Understanding CFD Trading

Contracts for Difference (CFD) trading allows traders to speculate on price movements of financial assets without owning the underlying asset. Traders enter into a contract reflecting the difference between the asset’s opening and closing prices.

This mechanism enables profit from both rising and falling markets without the capital requirement of purchasing the actual asset.

Seacrest Markets is a fully regulated FSCA broker offering diverse asset classes:

  • Forex: 50+ major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.
  • Indices: US30, NAS100, SPX500, GER40, UK100, JP225.
  • Commodities: Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, Natural Gas.
  • Crypto: BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, ADA (vs USD).
  • Stocks: Selected U.S. equities via CFDs.
