CFDs Explained
The "CFDs", or "Contract for Difference", was developed to allow clients to receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself. For example, instead of purchasing 1,000 shares of Microsoft from a stock broker, a client could instead buy a CFDs on Microsoft on the Ikon Group trading platform. A $5 per share rise in the price of Microsoft would confer to the client a $5,000 profit, just as if he had purchased the actual shares that are traded on the exchange. A major difference is that there are no exchange fees and many of the inefficiencies of trading the underlying shares on the exchange are eliminated. Ikon Group can therefore offer CFDs with zero commissions and very attractive margin requirements. CFDs have grown in popularity dramatically over the past few years, and we believe that this will increasingly be the preferred way to trade the financial markets.

The other major benefit of trading a CFDs is the fact that the client can trade on margin. CFDs trading means clients can trade a full portfolio of Shares, indices, or commodities without having to tie up large amounts of capital. Using the example above, a client purchasing $50,000 worth of CFDs Shares will only be asked for $1,000 margin.

Trade CFDs with risk protection: if the market moves sharply against you, we guarantee that your position will be closed at your chosen Stop level.

Immediate dealing
You can trade in seconds, there is no irritating wait for an execution. Furthermore, there is no stamp duty to pay on CFDs trades, and we impose no minimum deal sizes. This is the flexible and cost-effective way to trade individual shares.

Cost Effectiveness
Unlike common stocks, current legislation means that CFDs are not subject to Stamp Duty. This is because the trader does not physically own the Stocks, and therefore is exempt from this governmental tax. CFDs are traded on margin. This is a more efficient use of capital because you only have to allocate a small proportion of the value of your position to secure a trade, whilst still maintaining full exposure to the market. In effect you are able to magnify your return on investment. However this means that your losses will also be magnified.
