ETF/CFD Newbie Help!

Hi All,

Apologies I'm totally new so apologies for the basics.  I've recently invested decent sums via my CFD account into lots of ETF products.  I've seen a really solid profit to date but have heard that for long term holding CFD is not great for ETF if you're not looking to day trade. 

My question is - should I cash out and look to buy ETF via shares rather than CFD if I'm looking at a long term investment as opposed to short term fast gains? 

Thanks

Hi @aelv, if you are confident in your risk management and stop loss positioning there is no reason why you shouldn't use cfd's for long term trades but be aware that (where available) it is more cost effective to use the 'Forward' (futures) contract for longer term trades rather than the DFB spot contract as the forward contract doesn't incur overnight funding costs though you do repay the spread at each 3 monthly rollover.

    • I use Bybit, Bitget and Binance. I like Bybit more for their derivatives, it has numerous pairs to choose from, I like Bitget more for its copy trading, low fees and high liquidity. I like Binance more for its P2P. 
    • Transiting into the crypto industry as a newbie and staying profitable even as a seasoned trader depends largely on users' choice of exchange. This is because these exchanges determine the safety of users' assets, accessibility, and general trading experience. I usually consider exchanges with the best security measures, convenience,  products, token availability and so on. I'd say the exchanges captured on the chart are the best exchanges right now in no specific order.
    • The Asset Protection Fund on Bitget and Binance SAFU are amongst the major reasons I use these two exchanges. Glad to see the former exchange upping up the numbers, this will continue to strengthen users confidence in them.
