Benefits of Trading Stock CFDs

Potential for Higher Exposure: For traders, leverage in CFD trading can increase exposure to both upside and downside potential

Flexibility: Trade on both rising and falling markets through long and short positions.

Accessibility: Trade anywhere 24/5 by connecting your Eightcap account to the TradingView app.

Diversification: Spread investments across various sectors and markets.

Cost: Speculate on the price of shares paying just the spread and a small commission, plus a swap rate for overnight positions. 

Hedging: A particularly useful advantage during earnings seasons and other economic events; traders can use a second CFD to cover their initial position, before closing one of their positions as the momentum develops, aiming to take profit in the direction of the prevailing trend.
