Stocks and shares can be traded with Hantec Markets as Contracts for Difference (CFDs), and as with any trading, you’ll be looking to buy low and/or sell high. The decision to buy or to sell can be derived from either fundamental or technical analysis and should be part of a trading strategy that you’ve already tried and tested. Opening a demo account to refine a trading plan for stock CFDs is highly recommended. As a trader, you should have a good understanding of the influences on the market you want to trade-in. You should also build a robust trading plan and set strict risk limits. You should establish an exit stop-loss and look to constrain any losses to within predefined limits.
