On eToro, you can access a wide range of CFDs, including stocks, indices, commodities, forex, crypto, and ETFs. The availability of CFDs and specific asset categories depends on your country of residence.
Here’s a table of the CFD assets you can trade on eToro (*some may not be available for specific regions or countries):
| Asset Type | Description |
| Stocks | Go long or short on global shares, from Wall Street heavyweights to FTSE favorites. You can trade CFDs on companies listed in the U.S., UK, Germany, and beyond. No ownership. Just price action. |
| Indices | Prefer to bet on entire markets? Indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, DAX 30, and FTSE 100 are all on the table. With index CFDs, you’re speculating on a market’s overall direction, bullish or bearish. |
| Commodities |
Hard assets with o storage required. CFD commodities include:
Whether it’s crude or cocoa, you’re trading movements and not the physical goods. |
| Currencies (Forex) | Tap into the world’s largest market. Trade CFD pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, or even exotic ones like USD/ZAR. Go where the volatility is and speculate on global currency moves. |
| Crypto | No wallets and no keys needed. You can speculate on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a growing list of altcoins all through CFDs. It's price exposure without holding the asset. |
| ETFs | Want exposure to a basket of assets? Trade CFDs on select exchange-traded funds and track sectors, indexes, or strategies with one position. |
Why I Trade CFDs on eToro (And Why You Might Too)
These are the main reasons it works for me:
Leverage: I can control a larger position with less capital.
Short Selling: I can make a profit even when prices drop, not just when they rise.
No Ownership: I'm trading price, not taking delivery.
Multi-Market Access: With just one platform, there are many investment opportunities.
⚠️ Just a heads-up: CFD trading isn’t for everyone. Losses can exceed your initial investment, and leverage cuts both ways. Make sure you understand the risks and manage them wisely. If you're new to this type of trading, I recommend opening a demo account first, hone your skills and then try it out with real funds.
