CFD Trading with TD WaterhouseImage

TD Waterhouse CFDs provides active investors with a way to trade shares without having to pay the full price of owning the stock. CFDs (Contracts for Difference) can be traded 'long' or 'short' to speculate on either rising or falling markets.

A CFD is an agreement between two parties to exchange, at the close of the contract, the difference between the opening price and the closing price of the contract. With a CFD, you receive many of the benefits of share ownership (such as dividends and price performance) but you don’t actually own the share. A CFD is a derivative product.

Types of account available

There are two types of account available for customers wishing to trade CFDs - the Standard Account and the Limited Risk Account. Compare Accounts
