What is shares trading?
Shares trading, also known as stock trading, is the process of speculating on the price movement of publicly trading companies.
With us, you can trade on shares as leveraged CFDs, which allow you to go long if you think a share price will rise, or go short if you think that it'll fall, without taking ownership of the underlying stock. Please note that leverage amplifies gains and losses equally.
