What is an ETF?
An ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is a financial instrument consisting of a collection of securities* (such as stocks, bonds, or commodities), and usually tracking the performance of an index. ETFs can cover a particular industry, reflecting its performance throughout each trading session and at any given time.
What are securities?
Securities are fungible, negotiable financial instruments that hold some type of monetary value and represent a type of ownership. People trade these securities in the form of various financial instruments that fluctuate based on supply and demand and other variables.
ETF trading, a popular choice amongst investors
Trading CFDs on ETFs has gained popularity amongst investors worldwide due to their versatility. Exchange-traded funds let you invest in more than one market at the same time, with the securities combined into ETFs usually falling into the same category, such as energy, technology, agriculture, and many others.
So, if you are interested in a specific industry, you can trade stocks, commodities, and bonds from it altogether as ETFs.

But what about CFDs on ETFs?
ETF trading in the form of CFDs means investing in the exchange-traded fund’s price, as CFD instruments reflect the market value of financial instruments.
When trading CFDs on ETFs, you can open trades in any direction, depending on what you expect will happen (based on your assessment of the influencing factors): prices to drop or to increase. If you believe that the price will decrease, you can open a short position (SELL). If you believe the ETF price will increase, you can open a long position (BUY).
Plus, you can use leverage to open larger positions with smaller investments, but also with increased risks of loss.
