Can’t disagree, I was tempted by the idea of day trading and using 5x to quicken the earning process. It was a bad decision but I don’t regret as it was a needed lesson that I won’t repeat

You know that 212 earns 90% of its money on cfds?

Yeah, I know the risk associated with Cfds. And I couldn’t find another platform better than 212

It doesnt matter what platform it is. CFDs are banned in USA. That should tell you something

Yeah, now I know. I was enticed by the leverage, and I couldn’t find a platform that does option initially (but now I do know about Plus500). So I thought why not give Cfds a try, and was told that they use the spread from Bloomsberg so thought it wouldn’t be that bad, I was wrong and lost money.
