Why Trade CFDs?
CFDs are quickly becoming one of the most popular trading instruments in the world. It is really no surprise, traders are taking advantage of the power, flexibility, leverage and opportunities CFDs present. At Minc Trading we provide all of our trading products on the one platform, which means CFDs, Options, Shares, and Warrants can all be managed from the one screen.
Leverage
CFDs allow the efficient use of trading capital by incorporating leverage. This can be tailored to the client's risk tolerance, however Minc Trading does not recommend this more than 3 times.
Direct Market Access
Minc Trading uses Direct Market Access (DMA) CFDs which give traders the ability to participate in the match market phases and trade on the actual market spreads rather than a CFDs provider's spreads.
Lower Brokerage Costs
Brokerage fees on CFDs are lower due to their "over the counter" nature. Generally speaking CFDs are about half the price of some stocks. See the different options below for more specific pricing.
Minc Trading operates three CFD programs each with varying levels of rates and service.
Global Markets
There is access to equities, futures and foreign exchange markets around the world at your finger tips! The diversification possibilities for your portfolio are endless!
The CFD Model Portfolio
CFDs are a product tailored to the advanced and serious trader and with their inbuilt leverage positions can move incredibly quickly. At Minc Trading, we monitor the market constantly, and as a part of this process, have a team designated to management of the CFD portfolio. This portfolio is developed largely from the high conviction equities portfolio. However, due to the leverage aspect, stop losses and occasionally trailing stops are used within the trading plan.
Our experienced team of analysts and dealers put stocks through a rigourous selection process before recommending their inclusion in the portfolio. To give a brief outline of the stages and factors involved consider the processes below:
- A team designated to the CFD and High conviction equities model portfolios monitor and manage all open positions. Including adjustment of stop losses and targets.
- Daily meetings are held to discuss positions, market outlook and overall strategies. It is in these meetings the early stages of new trade ideas are developed.
- Analysts and dealers then draw upon available research from several sources to develop an outlook, valuation, and target on a particular stock.
- A technical analysis is then conducted to evaluate entry and exit targets.
- Contingent (stop loss/gain) orders are then created based upon the technical analysis of support and resistance.
- A recommendation is then developed, Emailed, SMSed and posted to this website. Upon which dealers then contact the clients participating in the strategy to discuss the trade idea.
