CFD Trading Accounts and Brokers

CFD companies, like financial spread betting brokers, charge commission for every trade. Commission is calculated as a percentage of the trading amount, but there is always a minimum commission per trade. Since contracts for difference firms do not use fixed commissions it is difficult to compare accounts and find the cheapest and most competitive account. Just like for spread betting accounts we use a unique formula, taking into account costs for the most popular markets to assist you with choosing the cheapest CFD account.
