What 40x Markup Actually Costs You
Same stock. Same moment. Two very different outcomes.
Down $107 the second you click buy.
Down $6. Keep $101 the CFD trader just lost.
Before a single trade plays out.
Why CFD Trading Costs You More
Your trade never reaches the real market. The CFD broker becomes your buyer and seller — and they make money when you lose.
Here’s what that costs you:
- Widened spreads that quietly eat your profit on every trade.
- Fake price spikes that hit your stop-loss on prices the real market never showed.
- Delays, slippage, and re-quotes when speed matters most.
You’re not trading the market. You’re trading against your CFD broker.
Trade the Real Exchange, Not the CFD Broker
Direct Market Access (DMA) sends your order straight to the real stock exchange — the same place professional traders, hedge funds and institutions trade.
Real spreads. You pay what the market charges, not a markup.
Real prices. The same prices every trader on the exchange sees.
Real shares. You own actual stock, not a contract on a screen.
No middleman. No widened spread. No one trading against you.
