Risk
Before practicing, be clear on this
- A CFD does not make you the owner of anything: you trade the price change, with leverage.
- Leverage magnifies losses just as it does gains; you can lose faster than you expect.
- News can open the price far from the previous close; a stop is not guaranteed to fill at the exact price.
- This page is educational. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell nor investment advice.
