Common Questions

Need help getting started?

  • Can I short-sell shares?

    Yes. Share CFDs trade long or short, so you can trade a company’s fall as easily as its rise.

  • Do I own the shares?

    No. Share CFDs track the price — you trade the movement without owning the underlying stock

  • Do I get dividends?

    Positions are cash-adjusted on ex-dividend dates, so dividend effects are reflected in your open position.

  • What leverage can I use on shares?

    Fixed 1:10 (10% margin), subject to your region’s caps.

  • What does it cost to trade shares?

    A flat commission — $0.02 per share on US stocks (min $1) and 0.10% on European (min €10) — with no markup on spreads.

  • When can I trade shares?

    US stocks trade pre-market, regular and after-hours (09:00–01:00 GMT); European stocks 08:00–16:30 GMT.

  • What’s the minimum to start?

    You can open an account from just $10 on LeveragePlus.
