WHAT ARE STOCKS CFD
Stocks CFD trading involves the purchase or sale of shares representing ownership in a specific company that is listed on a stock exchange like the S&P500 or NASDAQ. Typically, stocks are traded without the use of leverage and are executed through a stock exchange. On the other hand, stocks CFD can be traded with leverage and are conducted over-the-counter (OTC). Participants have the opportunity to invest in individual companies, either building positions in a particular company or focusing on a specific sector of the economy.
To mitigate unsystematic risk, participants often develop strategies that involve diversification across multiple companies or sectors. Investors may opt for defensive positions in anticipation of market volatility. Similarly, investors may construct a portfolio centered around a growth strategy, which includes small to mid-cap technology stocks.
The Stocks CFD Market: Trading Hours
Stocks CFD trading hours can vary depending on the exchange and the financial instrument being traded. However, there are some common trading hours for major indices:
- Stock Market Indices: Follow the trading hours of the underlying stock exchanges, typically from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) on regular trading days in the United States.
- Futures Indices: Have extended trading hours starting on Sunday evening and continuing until Friday afternoon with brief breaks for maintenance, varying depending on the futures exchange.
- Options on Indices: Trading hours follow the hours of the options exchange where they are listed, often coinciding with the trading hours of the underlying stock market indices.
- Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): Trade throughout the day on stock exchanges, mirroring regular stock market hours.

You’ve probably noticed that there are overlaps between the sessions. For example, at 03:00 (EST) both the Tokyo and London sessions are open. This is what ensures that the indices market provides traders with 24-hour access to trade from Sunday Evening to Friday Evening (the market closes over the weekend).
Stocks CFD Trading Example
Buying: NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)
1. Opening the Position
The price of the NVIDIA is 2140.50/2141.00 and you decide to buy 3 standard lots (the equivalent of €300,000) at 21142.50.
2. Closing the Position
One week later NVIDIA has risen to 2150.50/2151.25 and so you decide to take the profit by selling back 3 standard lots at 2150.00.
3. The gross profit on your trade is calculated as follows
Opening Price
€300,000 x 1.07992 = USD $323,976
Closing Price
€300,000 x 1.05345 = USD $316,035
Gross Profit on Trade
$323,976 - $316,035 = $7,941
