Trading Shares CFD

Axi clients can trade shares as a CFD (Contract for Difference). This means you do not invest directly in, or take ownership of, any share of a company, but you can trade and profit from the real-time price movements of the underlying share in the open market. If the market price moved in the same direction as your trade, you would make a profit. If it moved against you, you would incur a loss.

Axi currently offers more than 100 share CFD trading options, including in the UK, US, EU, and Hong Kong markets. For more information, please refer to our Product Schedule.

Please note: Share trading is not currently available on Demo trading accounts.

Minimum lot size on share trades

The minimum trading volume for share CFDs starts at 1 share and increases incrementally by 1 share thereafter. To calculate the minimum trade size on a share CFD trade, please refer to the example below as a guide:

Let us say you want to trade 100 shares of Disney at the current price of USD 175 per share, using a margin of 20%.

Formula: Number of Shares x Share Price x Margin Percentage

100 x 175 x 20% = USD 3,500
