How long can I hold a CFD?

CFDs do not have an actual expiry date and can remain open as long as possible. However, keeping the position open after the market close can incur fees known as a rollover in CFDs or swaps in Forex currency pairs. Therefore, it would be in your best interest to calculate possible swaps in advance and project it onto your expected return.

Is CFD trading taxable?

CFD trading, in general, is a taxable income and subject to capital gains tax within EEA. However, UK residents can take advantage of Spread Betting, which is exempt from both stamp duty and taxation.

CFDs are not traded in a regular stock exchange, and therefore don’t have expiration dates that would require buying or selling the underlying asset at a certain price.

CFD Trading Strategies

You can follow several kinds of trading strategies when you are trading CFDs. Consider some of the following:

Day trading strategy
As you might have guessed from the name, day trading consists of opening and closing a trade on the same day. Day traders might hold a position for the whole session, or they might only hold a trade open for an hour. Day trading avoids the risks and costs of holding a CFD position open overnight.

Swing trading strategy
Swing trading is similar to day trading because it looks to profit from short term changes or “swings” in price. The main difference is that a swing trading strategy is more flexible, and traders will sometimes hold their positions overnight despite the added costs and risks.

Scalping trading strategy
A scalping strategy goes in the other direction from day trading. That is, scalpers open many extremely short term positions, some lasting as little as seconds. The scalper attempts to make many small profits throughout the day by capitalizing on the prevailing trend or momentum in an asset.
