Inaugural CANSTAR CANNEX CFD trading star ratings

CANSTAR CANNEX releases its inaugural comprehensive analysis on CFD trading in Australia. Over 200 pieces of information across 16 CFD providers are assessed based on 4 equity-investor profiles. None of the profiles which are assessed are beginner investors, a clear indication that CFD trading is not for everyone, especially those people who are not aware of the risk associated with this investment type.

Providers are assessed based on their pricing for Australian shares, which includes brokerage and financing cost and also features, which starts from flexibilities in using the service, risk management tools, and also margin requirements. Based on CANSTAR CANNEX methodology, the following CFD providers are awarded “Outstanding Value” for their services on CFD trading.

What is a CFD?
	A contract for difference, or CFD, is a leveraged instrument that enables you to gain exposure to shares, indices, commodities and currencies.
Going long or short – what's the difference?
	Taking a long CFD position simply means you expect the value of the underlying security to increase. Taking a short CFD position simply means you expect the value of the underlying security to decrease.
CFD types explained
	There are a few different type of CFDs and it pays to know the fundamental differences before choosing the one that's right for you.
Risks of CFD trading
	There's no doubt this is a risky business. A contract for difference, or CFD, is a legally-binding contract between two parties, buyer and seller, where the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time.
