Do you offer Stock trading?
Yes, we offer stock trading and stock CFDs for both US stocks. You'll be able to trade stocks on our Stocks MT5 Accounts. This article aims to provide clear information about our stock trading services.
What's the difference between trading stocks and stock CFDs?
When you buy and sell stocks, you own them outright. Stock CFDs are a type of asset that allows you to trade the price movements of stocks, without owning any shares in that company at all. Another difference is that you can trade with the expectation that a stock's price will actually fall in value - not just rise. You can't do this with normal stock trading.
