Share trading is the process of speculating on the price movements of company stocks using derivatives like CFDs. Instead of only holding shares long term, traders can react to short- and medium-term opportunities by buying and selling quickly in the market.
To trade shares online, you open a CFD account with a regulated broker (subject to eligibility), deposit funds, and use a platform to access live markets. With share trading online, you can view real-time prices, analyse charts, and place trades instantly from your phone or desktop.
When you invest in shares, you typically own and hold them for the long term. Trading shares with CFDs means you do not own the asset – you’re just taking a position on its price movements. This allows you to open and close positions quickly and makes it possible to trade shares even when markets are falling, by taking short positions.
Yes. Modern platforms make online share trading accessible to everyone via CFDs. Beginners can start with demo accounts and tutorials, while experienced traders can use advanced order types and risk management tools to trade shares more strategically.
Some traders use CFDs to trade share indices or baskets instead of just one stock, because it can spread risk across multiple companies. This makes trading shares less dependent on a single company’s performance and more reflective of broader market trends.
