Hi

I was wondering if there are any successful CFD traders on this forum (you do not have to brag or post anything that you do not want to) that are continuously racking in above $10k per week from these CFD providers?

The reason I ask is because I currently make around that per month BUT with stock trading which is regulated market.

I am not a scalper and can hold positions for as long as it does not commit a sell. I have never traded CFDs but they look like an attractive product especially with leverage.

My only issue is that I do not want to handle the mess of dealing with brokers that want to deliberately cut the trade into their own favor. I want to know if any other successful traders on this forum that are making 5 figure per month or more have any issues with CFD providers? What kind of problems do you face when you are losing them money every week? Whats their threshold before they want you out?

I would also highly appreciate if you could just mention the brokers you use for the benefit of others. I want an authentic broker and am willing to spread out amongst a few as long as they do not start killing the trades that are losing them 5 figures every week.

Thank you.
 
If you dont want to be at the mercy of an execution broker then just use DMA set ups. Make sure your orders dont get switched onto the OTC order book (GTC, icebergs etc) then you should be fine.

Price depths from whom???!?

Who is your liquidity provider (s)? Who puts in the money for buys/sells?

For forex they can be banks etc but for CFDs who is this pool of risk takers?

The price depths come from the underlying exchange. Through our platform you can place orders into the exchages order book. The liquidity is the liquidity of the underlying market. Every trade is hedged into the underlying market or with our PB at a better price. You are also able to participate in pre and post auctions.

I am interested in learning how to trade cfds, can anyone recommend some resources that I can get to learn it and what it involves.

Learn to trade first on demo accounts. If you can trade, CFD is just an instrument. You can trade any thing.

If you are a newbie I don't recommend a DMA account, you will have a rough time. No you should go for CFD's account by a market maker, fixed spread is Ok. Just demo trade to get to know the platform, too long demo trading will hurt you in live trading. If you can't make it trading with a market maker, you will not make it trading with a DMA account. The most important thing, learn about proper money management, without it, you will be lost.

In my opinion, answer is simple. Look for DMA providers (Direct Market Access), not those who run a book on your equities (i.e. act as a bookmaker). You’ll get the real market price, with access to the right amount of liquidity – when you win, they don’t lose. It goes direct to market, they make via a commission.

Examples include;

Accendo Markets
IG Markets
FP Markets (not used, Australian but also presence in the UK).

Hope it helps. Let us know how you get on.
