How Our Products Work

What are the Risks

Although Spread Betting and CFDs offer advantages over and above traditional share trading it is important to remember that these are leveraged products. Whilst the leveraged nature of the product means you can potentially make much more money than your initial deposit, it also means that you can lose much more than your initial deposit too.

CMC Markets provide a wide range of risk management tools such as guaranteed stops, so make sure you understand how they work and when to use them, and most importantly start trading with small amounts.

You do not need to be an experienced investor to use spread betting or CFDs, but you do need to research the products that you wish to trade and be fully aware of the risks involved.
