CFD Prop Firms
Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are the backbone of the retail prop trading industry. They allow you to speculate on the price movements of Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities without ever owning the underlying asset. This derivative structure enables high leverage, fractional lot sizing, and seamless short-selling. Explore the top-rated CFD prop firms below.
Zero Ownership
You never own the underlying asset, meaning no storage costs or voting rights.
Seamless Shorting
Shorting CFDs is exactly as easy as buying them, with no "hard to borrow" fees.
High Leverage Access
CFDs allow prop firms to offer up to 1:100 leverage on major instruments.
Swap/Rollover Costs
Holding CFDs overnight usually incurs a swap fee based on interest rate differentials.
