CFD Equities trading examples
As with traditional share dealing, CFD prices are quoted as a Bid (the price you can sell at) and an Offer (the price you can buy at). With CFD trading you buy a CFD based on a certain amount of the underlying asset.
The following worked examples show how you can use CFDs to trade a number of different markets.
These examples show trades that result in both profits and losses.

You believe that the shares of Yahoo will rise, so you decide to buy a CFD based on 3000 shares.
