Leverage 1:100
With Interactive Investor, you can speculate on the world’s largest stock markets and global companies. When trading stock CFDs, you’re not buying or selling the physical shares. Instead, you’re speculating on the price movement of the stock — whether it rises or falls.
If the stock price increases and you buy a CFD, your position gains value. Conversely, if it drops, your CFD position declines. This flexibility allows traders to benefit from both rising and falling markets, all without owning the actual shares.

Tips for Trading Stocks
Stock CFDs are influenced by corporate earnings, interest rates, and global economic events.
Each stock CFD typically represents one share, making it simple to scale positions.
Stock prices vary by industry sector — tech, energy, healthcare, and finance all move differently.
US markets (NASDAQ & NYSE) are the most actively traded globally.
Keep an eye on dividend announcements, merger news, and quarterly reports — they can cause major price swings.
Stocks Trading Examples
#1 Sell (Go Short)
Selling stocks reflects an expectation that company performance or market conditions will weaken.
Suppose you sell Tesla (TSLA) at $250 per share, expecting lower delivery numbers. If the price falls to $230, you earn a $20 profit per share. But if it rises to $270, you lose $20 per share.
CFDs allow you to take advantage of both rising and falling markets efficiently.
#1 Buy (Go Long)
Buying stocks reflects a positive outlook on company growth and market performance.
Let’s say you buy Apple (AAPL) at $180 per share via a CFD, expecting strong quarterly earnings. If the price rises to $190, you make a $10 profit per share. But if the price drops to $170, you lose $10 per share.
CFDs let you profit from upward price movements without physically owning the stock.
