Long and short

If you deal in CFD trading you’re familiar with those two words. CFD trading is a little more complicated than simple stock market exchanges, but there is more of a margin for profit. Trading in CFDs is all about knowing the market trends. Because it’s one thing to buy a stock you feel it’s worthwhile and hold on to it, but in CFDs you’ll be trading on how well – or bad – that stock will be performing in the market, generally on a short or medium term basis. What you do is predict if a stock is rising or decreasing in value and buy the according CFD – called “long” if you say the stock is going up or “short” if you feel its value will be going down after you buy it. In a nutshell, your investment will increase in whatever percentage the stock rises or plummets.
