Share CFD (Contract For Difference) in Singapore

Recently, there're many CFD providers in Singapore. What's the most important criteria when you would like to open CFD trading account?

1) Foreign Market
If you're an active investor, you must make sure that the CFD provider gives free access to USA,HK and London Stock Exchange. Please make sure the data feed fee is comfortable for you.

2)Comission and financing fee
Please make sure that those market you're actively trade, with low comission and low financing fee. Financing fee is really important when your total invested capital is above S$100k.

3)Platform
A user friendly platform and analysis tool are very important when you use CFD trading account. You need certain advanced charting to determine your entry point and some fundamental data to determine the stock valuation.

CFD(Contract for Difference) vs SBL(Securities Borrowing & Lending) - Short Sell

Share Borrowing and Lending (SBL) facility allows you to short the market by borrowing shares, the accompanying administrative hassles often results in investors missing out on the ‘right’ price to sell.

Why CFD convenience to short sell?
A CFD allows you to take position on a stock without needing to buy and sell the shares themselves. Therefore, CFD investors can take short positions, and not be limited to the T+30 days contra period or be tired out by the administrative hassles that accompany SBL trading.
