In CFD what is Computer Generated Stop Level

(Max) CGSL –
(Maximum) Computer Generated Stop Level
This is the maximum margin from a client’s account that
our systems will use to allocate a stop loss on any newly
opened positions. In the event that a client has sufficient
funds on deposit to cover the CGSL the system will assign
a stop at 80% of the CGSL away from the opening price
of the trade. Otherwise the system will allocate a stop at
80% of the funds available in your account.

What are Futures contract

Futures contract
A futures contract is an agreement to conduct a
transaction at some specified time in the future where
the price is agreed now. For a CFD it means that the
expiry date is at some point in the future. Future
contracts on CFDs are cash settled so you will never
be required to actually deliver, or take delivery of, the
physical product.

What are Commodity Markets

Commodity markets
These are markets where raw or primary products
are exchanged (like gold and oil). These commodities
are traded on regulated exchanges, in which they are
bought and sold in standardised contract sizes

What are equities in CFD

Equities (shares, stocks)
Equities represent a share of ownership in a company.
Equities are traded via the share market, a public
market for the trading of company shares and
derivatives at an agreed price. A CFD on shares does
not give you all the ownership rights of the equivalent
number of shares represented by the CFD nor does it
give you, at any time, the right to require or request
delivery of those shares from LCG. You have no voting
rights over the shares represented by a CFD.

what is Commissions

Commissions
The charge that CFD brokers apply to each trade.
We charge commission as a percentage of a trade.
Our rates are very competitive eg 0.05% on the top
200 Australian stocks, with the minimum charge of $5

what is Dividend

Dividend
The part of a company’s profits distributed to
shareholders, usually on a regular basis. If you have
an open ‘Buy’ trade in a Rolling Daily CFD on an
equity that goes ex-Dividend you will be credited
with 80pc of the relevant dividend if you have an
open ‘Sell’ trade you will be debited 100pc of the
relevant dividend.

what are Bonds


The bond market is where participants buy and sell debt
securities. UK Gilts, German Bunds and US Treasuries are
all Bonds. Capital CFD quotes CFDs derived from the
underlying Futures markets of the relevant contracts

what is Stop loss Order

Stop loss Order

A pre-determined order to close an open position in
a contract at a given price should that contract reach
the price designated at some point in the future. An
open ‘Sell’ trade would have a ‘Buy’ stop above the
current quoted price and a ‘Buy’ trade would have a
Sell stop below the current quoted price. Stop losses are
mandatory and are generated by the trading system
but they can be amended by you (subject to availability
of sufficient ‘Trading Resources’ on your account). Stop
loss orders are not guaranteed. If a market ‘gaps’ your
stop loss may not be filled at the level you requested. In
this event we always endeavour to close your trade at
the best price reasonably achieva

IG markets vs CMC Markets review

For years i have IG Market CFD account always liked it as i found no other alternative, eventually decided to try CMC cfd account but was awed by its low standard of service. IG doesn't pay me any thing to write this review.

I personally didn't like CMC markets Market Maker platform but some may really like it, it could also be i got used to IG interface.

Other thing i found was with IG you have enough help and webinars on there site to learn more.

There is always a demo account in both IG and CMC to try it for free.
