How to trade CFD ?
There are many types of CFD trading. GLORY TRADE uses index CFDs as an example to give traders a simple demonstration of index CFD margin & profit and loss calculations so that investors can have a clearer understanding of CFDs.
The formula for CFD margin calculation is:
Lots × Contract Quantity × Market Price × Prepayment Percentage = Margin
Example:
U30USD (Dow Jones Industrial Average) has a contract volume of 10, the current index is 20000.0, and the prepayment percentage is 1%, then the margin for trading 1 lot of U30USD is: 1 × 10 × 20000.0 × 1% = 2000 USD
Calculation Method of CFD profit and loss:
(Closing Price – Opening Price) × Contract Amount × Lot Size = Profit and Loss
Example:
In the above example, if the entrance price is 20000.0 and the exit price is 20001.0,
the profit is: (20001.0 – 20000.0) × 1 × 10 = 10 USD
Through the above example, investors would have a certain understanding of GLORY TRADE' index CFD margin & profit and loss calculation method, and can judge whether it needs to invest in CFD trading according to their own situation.
