Contracts for Difference: Master the Trading Revolution

by Catherine Davey

Overview

They have taken Europe by storm and are fast becoming the product of choice for short-term traders in Australia. Contracts for Difference were previously only available to institutional traders but now Australian private investors can trade this revolutionary new product. No other tool allows investors to profit from either a bull or bear market, using a fraction of the capital required for traditional share trading, while paying no commissions.

Contracts for Difference is the first Australian book on the subject. In her easy-to-read, jargon-free style, author Catherine Davey outlines the background to CFDs, then goes on to look at: how CFDs are traded; CFDs compared to shares, options, warrants and futures; using CFDs to profit from rising and falling markets; analysis techniques using charts; short-term trading with CFDs; and trading psychology.
