What is a CFD?

A contract for difference creates price exposure without necessarily transferring ownership of the underlying asset.

Educational guideSeptember 2026

Understand the contractual exposure

A CFD links the parties' cash outcome to the movement of a referenced price between opening and closing, under the contract's terms. The position can be long or short, and it usually does not give the holder the same rights as owning the underlying asset. Leverage can make the exposure larger than the money initially committed. That amplifies sensitivity to price changes rather than reducing the economic size of the trade.

Read beyond the price chart

Before considering a CFD elsewhere, inspect the provider, reference price, contract multiplier, costs, margin and close-out conditions. Calculate both a favorable and an unfavorable hypothetical move and include financing or conversion where applicable. Product availability and customer protections depend on the actual entity and jurisdiction. FYLU's current site explains the concept but does not establish a live CFD offering, an approved leverage ratio or protection against a particular loss.

General information, not a personal recommendation. Product availability, rights, and obligations are determined by the relevant provider, jurisdiction, and approved agreements.
