The stock market is the gathering place for securities traders. To engage in buying and selling stocks, futures, bonds, and options, all you need is a trading account. Therefore, traders can participate in the most successful publicly-listed companies in various industries, using derivative financial instruments and futures contracts to mitigate capital risks.

U.S. stock exchanges are highly popular (such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, New York Mercantile Exchange, Global Futures Trading System, etc.), and other prominent exchanges include the Tokyo Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange (LSE), and Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX).

With the development of modern technology and the internet, traders can use versatile computer software for securities trading, known as trading platforms. On such software, traders can place orders to buy or sell securities, and then brokers execute the trades on behalf of the traders at the stock exchange. The MetaTrader 5 trading platform provides advanced features for global trading, supporting technical analysis, algorithmic trading, and group trading.

How is Contract for Difference (CFD) Trading Different from Stock Trading?

The primary difference between Contract for Difference (CFD) trading and stock trading is that you don't actually own the underlying asset, i.e., the actual stock. As the name suggests, in CFD trading, you don't physically hold the asset or instrument you're trading. However, if the market moves in your direction, you still have the potential to profit; conversely, if the market moves in the opposite direction, you may incur losses.

CFDs are also a form of leveraged product, and margin requirements mean you only need to deposit a fraction of the total trade value as margin to open a CFD position. In stock trading, you typically need to buy the entire required shares. Leverage comes with potential risks, so understanding the risks of leverage is crucial before trading.
