Stock & Commodities

When looking to invest in Stocks, there are different options that the average investor has. When you enter into a CFD trade, you do it without actually taking ownership of the underlying asset. That means, that you won’t actually own the Facebook or Amazon Stock, for instance.

Through CFDs you can open a SELL position just as easily as a BUY position, allowing you to take advantage of price movements in both rising and falling markets. For instance, you can hope to profit by buying LOW and selling HIGHER, with the difference in price being your reward. Alternatively, you can SELL high and then BUY lower later.

Profit from even the smallest markets moves – CFDs are traded on margin, which enables you to multiply profits through the facility of leverage. Additionally, with Crestsvalue you can trade on both rising and falling markets, using leverage up to 20:1.
