What is CFD?
CFD (Contract-for-Difference) is an agreement between a seller and a buyer to pay the difference between the opening price and closing price of a particular market or asset. Trading on CFD, you speculate on whether the asset will increase or decrease in value. Thus, you never actually own the asset but forecast whether it will rise or fall. You buy asset CFD if you think that its price will rise or sell it when it seems to be falling soon.
NAGA offers CFD trading on crypto and over 400 stock CFDs on the platform.
A stock is a type of security that represents an ownership share of the company. When you purchase a stock CFD, you do not become a shareholder of the underlying stock. However, the CFD value will rise and fall with the stock price it tracks, much like a regular stock. That's why you can profit off the rise or fall of the stock value without its ownership.
If you are a beginner at crypto trading, CFDs may be your perfect place to start. NAGA offers CFD trading on crypto with no commissions or hidden fees, equipping you with all the trading tools you need, like stop-loss and take-profit limit orders.
Here are the main benefits of CFD crypto trading:
▪️Cryptocurrencies are volatile. In CFD trading, you can unveil the power of crypto without actually owning it.
▪️You don't need a crypto storage wallet or crypto exchange deals.
▪️You can benefit from both rising and falling markets.
