Single-company exposure, taken as a CFD — long or short, without owning the stock.
What you'll learn
Shares
A share CFD tracks the price of one listed company. Because you never own the share, a position can be opened in either direction, and none of the rights of a shareholder come with it.
CFDs are explained here for education: you take a position on the price, you never own the underlying asset.
Corporate actions — splits, dividends, mergers — are adjusted for on the position, and we show you how.
A single company can gap on earnings far more than an index does.

How we teach it
We teach share CFDs on their exchange's own hours, so you learn to check whether the market behind an instrument is actually open before you plan a trade.

What a trade costs
Every market is taught the same way: one all-in spread, or a tighter spread with a fixed commission per lot, whichever your chosen broker offers. We teach you to read the difference, not to pay us either one.
