improve their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The broker has a wide range of instruments to trade as CFDs, including currencies, commodities, indices, stocks, and cryptocurrencies on a beginner-friendly, intuitive interface. It also features real (non-CFD) assets as well, for traders who want to branch out into direct investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some downsides, too. It charges a $10 a month inactivity fee if your account hasn\u2019t had a log-in for 12 or more months, and its spreads are higher than those of some competitors. It also forces investors to use its in-house WebTrader platform, meaning third-party platforms such as MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 are not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about this CFD broker from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/investing\/etoro-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our detailed review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Range of CFDs<\/strong><\/td><td>7,000+ CFDs on markets spanning stocks, ETFs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices, and forex<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pricing System<\/strong><\/td><td>Dynamic market spreads<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Types<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard, Raw &amp; Islamic<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Supported Platforms<\/strong><\/td><td>Webtrader and an iOS\/Android app<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Minimum<\/strong><\/td><td>First deposit is typically $50 ($50 thereafter in most countries, however, it\u2019s $1 in the US and $10 in the UK<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max.

Opening an account is free and can be completed in under two minutes. There are no charges for account maintenance or demo accounts, allowing users to test strategies risk-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although PrimeXBT is a relatively new platform, it has attracted over a million users so far, across more than 150 countries. This rapid expansion can be attributed to its narrow spreads starting from 0.1 and 24\/7 support accessible via email or live chat. In terms of fees, crypto trades incur a 0.05% trading fee, while overnight fees, starting from 0.0017%, apply to all products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, PrimeXBT\u2019s tools are somewhat limited to price charts and economic calendars. We have also found its educational offering underwhelming compared to its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more about this broker, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/investing\/primexbt-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">PrimeXBT review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Range of CFDs<\/strong><\/td><td>100+ stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices and forex pairs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pricing System<\/strong><\/td><td>Dynamic market spreads<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Types<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Supported Platforms<\/strong><\/td><td>Proprietary trading platform via browsers and an iOS\/Android app<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Minimum<\/strong><\/td><td>None<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max.

While Skilling is popular with forex traders, it also supports other trading instruments. This includes CFDs on cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, and indices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Skilling-1.jpg\" alt=\"Skilling, Cyprus-based CFD broker's website\" class=\"wp-image-2586162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Skilling-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Skilling-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Skilling-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Skilling <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of safety, Skilling is authorized and regulated by CySEC, meaning it follows guidelines of the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA.) Specifically, CySEC adopted ESMA\u2019s strict rules for CFD and forex brokers, including leverage restrictions. Furthermore, all account holders are provided with insurance of \u20ac1 million in the unlikely event of the broker\u2019s collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its standard accounts come with forex spreads from as low as 0.7 pips, while the professional account further reduces the minimum spread to 0.1 pip for major forex pairs, such as the EUR\/USD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This premium account, aimed at professional traders, requires a minimum deposit of \u20ac5,000 and offers some of the lowest spreads in the industry. This comes, though, with a commission of $35 for every $1 million traded. What\u2019s more, premium account holders are eligible for leverage of up to 200:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Skilling is also popular among casual traders. It has a standard account that comes with a lower minimum deposit of \u20ac100. This account offers spreads starting from 0.7 pips. However, due to European regulations, leverage is reduced to 30:1 or, more often, less on CFD instruments for retail clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Range of CFDs<\/strong><\/td><td>1,200 CFD instruments across forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pricing System<\/strong><\/td><td>Dynamic market spreads<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Types<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Supported Platforms<\/strong><\/td><td>Native iOS\/Android app Skilling Trader, Metatrader 4, TradingView, cTrader<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Account Minimum<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard, Professional<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max.

CFDs?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Contracts for difference, or CFDs, are a type of financial instrument. They enable traders to go long or short without owning the respective asset. CFDs also invite leverage, meaning profits and losses are amplified.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, CFDs track the value of real-world assets, such as gold, oil, stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. This means that traders can buy and sell CFDs without owning the underlying asset. In turn, CFDs are considerably cheaper to trade when compared to traditional markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CFDs are created in-house, so the operational costs are minimal. CFDs are also beneficial for trading with high levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/investing\/leverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leverage<\/a>. For instance, some brokers offer leverage rates of up to 500:1. That means that a $100 account balance can be amplified to $50,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CFDs also enable traders to speculate on rising and falling markets. They allow you to go long or short without complicated terms. Simply place a buy or sell order based on your prediction. As CFDs do not provide asset ownership, many brokers offer fractional trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that being said, CFDs also come with their drawbacks. For a start, CFDs are leveraged instruments, so overnight financing fees apply. This means you\u2019ll be charged swap fees every day the CFD position remains open. Although some CFD brokers offer swap-free accounts, these come with higher spreads.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Another drawback is that CFD positions can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/investing\/liquidation-in-online-trading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liquidated<\/a>. This means the position will be closed by the broker if it declines by a certain percentage. The more leverage applied, the more likely liquidation becomes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"how_to_pick_the_right_cfd_trading_platform\">How to pick the right CFD trading platform<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The metrics discussed below should be considered when choosing the best CFD broker in 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regulation and Safety<\/strong>: CFD brokers must be regulated in the markets they operate. Some of the most trusted regulatory bodies to look for include the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), and CySEC (Cyprus). These bodies ensure that client funds are segregated in tier-one bank accounts. The regulatory body you fall under will depend on your country of residence.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Range of CFDs<\/strong>: The best CFD brokers support thousands of markets, ranging from stocks, ETFs, and commodities to cryptocurrencies, indices, and forex. Within each asset class, explore what specific markets are available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fees<\/strong>: Your most significant cost item is the spread, which varies depending on the asset type and market conditions. What\u2019s more, CFDs are <a href=\"https:\/\/asic.gov.au\/about-asic\/news-centre\/find-a-media-release\/2022-releases\/22-082mr-asic-s-cfd-product-intervention-order-extended-for-five-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leveraged financial products<\/a>, meaning overnight and weekend swap fees apply. Some CFD brokers offer swap-free accounts, although these usually come with higher spreads. You should also consider deposit and withdrawal fees.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tools and Analysis<\/strong>: Many CFD brokers offer proprietary trading platforms that come with analysis tools. This should include technical indicators, drawing tools, and risk management orders (e.g.: stop-losses). If supported, you might also consider third-party platforms like MT4 or TradingView.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimum Deposit<\/strong>: The typical minimum deposit amount required by CFD brokers is $100. This might be too high for beginners, so look for platforms with smaller or no minimums.  Don\u2019t forget to check the minimum trade size, as this can also vary widely between CFD brokers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Demo Account<\/strong>: The best CFD brokers offer a free demo account. This enables you to test the trading platform before making a deposit. Demo accounts are also ideal for crafting and testing new trading strategies. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-difference-between-cfds-and-futures\"><span id=\"the_difference_between_cfds_and_futures\">The difference between CFDs and futures<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders often get confused between these two financial instruments, so we will cover the main differences to that tell them apart. While CFDs and futures are both derivatives, there are more differences than similarities between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have already covered that CFDs are financial instruments that let traders speculate on the price of an underlying asset without taking ownership of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Futures are contracts to buy and sell an asset, such as a commodity or a security at a predetermined price at a specified date in the future. If held beyond expiry, the buyer will take ownership of the underlying asset and has an obligation to accept  a delivery of the asset when the contract expires. The seller has an obligation to deliver the asset to the buyer on expiry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-key-differences-explained\">3 key differences explained:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverage\"><strong>Leverage:<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Futures:<\/strong> Leverage is rarely used for futures contracts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CFDs<\/strong> are nearly always traded with leverage, that is a loan from a broker that allows traders to open positions that are worth many times their initial deposit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-physical-delivery\"><strong>Physical delivery:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Futures<\/strong>: Buyers who hold on to a futures contract beyond the date of expiry are obligated to take delivery of the asset, for instance, 1,000 barrels of oil, or 100 troy ounces of gold, weighing slightly more than 3 kilograms, which are typical futures contract sizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CFDs<\/strong> on the other hand, are purely hypothetical, with only the difference between the opening price and the closing price exchanged when the position is closed out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expiry\"><strong>Expiry:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Futures<\/strong> have a standardized schedule of expiry, typically a month or a quarter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CFDs<\/strong> are typically shorter-term instruments and can even be held for less than a day. They can also be held for a long period of time, for speculative purposes, if the trader is willing to pay the overnight financing fees to a broker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, CFD traders can have the best of both worlds. The most popular futures (e.g.: gold, natural gas, crude oil and stock index futures) are available as CFD instruments on most CFD trading platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#dddddd;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#F7F7F7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>Both futures and CFDs carry significant risks and they are best suited for more experienced traders. Always do your due diligence to establish what type of instruments are in line with your financial goals and risk tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"the_legalities_of_cfds\">The legalities of CFDs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We should also mention that CFDs aren\u2019t legal in all countries. In particular, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/files\/litigation\/complaints\/2018\/comp-pr2018-218.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CFDs are banned in the US<\/a>. As the SEC explains, this is because CFDs do not trade through regulated exchanges (like the NYSE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although CFDs are legal in the UK and the European Union (EU), restrictions apply. For instance, the UK\u2019s FCA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/news\/press-releases\/fca-bans-sale-crypto-derivatives-retail-consumers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">banned crypto derivatives<\/a>, including CFDs. While ESMA, which governs EU financial markets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esma.europa.eu\/press-news\/esma-news\/esma-renew-restrictions-cfds-further-three-months-1-may-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limits retail clients to CFD leverage<\/a> to 30:1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global regulators also require CFD trading brokers to be transparent on risk. This is why the best CFD brokers display a <strong>risk warning<\/strong>, showing the percentage of retail clients that lose money on their platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New CFDs leverage restrictions introduced by CySEC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), which licenses many CFD brokers in the EU, amended the CFD <a href=\"https:\/\/financefeeds.com\/cysec-caps-cfd-leverage-at-101-for-non-major-commodities-and-indices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leverage requirements<\/a> for retail traders in September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leverage for non-major commodities and indexes will be capped at 10:1. There will also be stricter compliance checks and reduced aggressive marketing strategies with greater transparency. This only affects EU clients who trade via CFD brokers that CySEC licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-methodology-for-testing-cfd-brokers\"><span id=\"our_methodology_for_testing_cfd_brokers\">Our methodology for testing CFD brokers<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We developed an in-house methodology to rank the best CFD trading platforms for 2025. Our research methods are transparent and impartial, allowing readers to make informed decisions when choosing a broker. We focused on CFD brokers with strong regulatory frameworks, meaning licenses from major watchdogs like the FCA and ASIC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strict licensing not only keeps your capital safe, but it also ensures you\u2019re trading in fair market conditions. We also examined CFD trading fees when researching brokers, such as commissions, spreads, and overnight financing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to regulation and fees, we also considered what CFD markets were available to trade. We gave priority to brokers with thousands of markets across many asset classes, including forex, commodities, stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies.  Within each market, we assess the minimum trade size and the maximum leverage limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also tested the proprietary trading platforms offered by each CFD broker. Core metrics included user-friendliness, trading tools, and ease of access. Another important factor was customer service; we prefer brokers with 24\/5 or 24\/7 support via live chat. Ultimately, these research methods enabled us to create fair and reliable CFD brokers ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We reviewed the best CFD brokers for 2025. eToro is our top pick; the broker offers over 7,000 CFD markets at relatively tight spreads.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eToro is very strong on its social aspects, offering a trading community with a social network feel and a well-developed copy-trading feature.

Regulators wanted to protect them from the high risk of losing their capital due to the use of leverage. The market watchdog has been concerned that CFDs are traded over-the-counter, not through a regulated exchange; therefore, the risk of market manipulation is high.<\/p>\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \"><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">Why do most CFD traders lose money?<\/h3> <\/div><div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">The main reason is the use of leverage, which amplifies gains as well as losses. Trading psychology also plays a role as sometimes gains prompt traders not to apply their own risk management tools. Lack of experience and skill may be a factor because some beginning traders take too much risk too soon. To limit losses, keep on learning and practise on a demo account. Apply risk management techniques consistently.<\/p>\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.handbook.fca.org.uk\/handbook\/CASS\/7\/13.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.handbook.fca.org.uk\/handbook\/CASS\/7\/13.html<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/files\/litigation\/complaints\/2018\/comp-pr2018-218.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/files\/litigation\/complaints\/2018\/comp-pr2018-218.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/news\/press-releases\/fca-bans-sale-crypto-derivatives-retail-consumers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/news\/press-releases\/fca-bans-sale-crypto-derivatives-retail-consumers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esma.europa.eu\/press-news\/esma-news\/esma-renew-restrictions-cfds-further-three-months-1-may-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.esma.europa.eu\/press-news\/esma-news\/esma-renew-restrictions-cfds-further-three-months-1-may-2019<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asic.gov.au\/about-asic\/news-centre\/find-a-media-release\/2022-releases\/22-082mr-asic-s-cfd-product-intervention-order-extended-for-five-years\/\">https:\/\/asic.gov.au\/about-asic\/news-centre\/find-a-media-release\/2022-releases\/22-082mr-asic-s-cfd-product-intervention-order-extended-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/asic.gov.au\/about-asic\/news-centre\/find-a-media-release\/2022-releases\/22-082mr-asic-s-cfd-product-intervention-order-extended-for-five-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/asic.gov.au\/about-asic\/news-centre\/find-a-media-release\/2022-releases\/22-082mr-asic-s-cfd-product-intervention-order-extended-for-five-years\/\">-five-years\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CFDs are financial instruments that let you bet on the prices of assets in real time without owning them.
