Risk warning and disclosure
Mobile trading makes it easy to over-trade; set a daily limit on trades and losses.
This page is information, not personal advice. CFDs use leverage, which magnifies losses as well as gains; most retail accounts lose money, and past results say nothing about future ones. Spread figures are the minimums or averages the brokers publish themselves and widen in fast markets.
