Contract for Difference — a derivative that mirrors the price of an underlying asset.
CFDs let traders go long or short on indices, commodities, stocks and crypto without owning the underlying. They are leveraged, so risk management is essential.
CFDs do not confer ownership, dividends are paid as adjustments, and tax treatment varies by jurisdiction.
Coral Markets publishes a full trading glossary so working traders can quickly check definitions in plain English. Every term ties back to how the concept actually shows up on MetaTrader 5 and on real charts.
