To be eligible for a Share CFD, the underlying company must have:
- A market capitalization of at least USD 500 million, and
- A median daily trading value of at least USD 600,000.
The universe of share CFDs is reviewed regularly. New CFDs are added for underlying shares that meet the criteria above.
When an existing underlying no longer meets these criteria, the corresponding share CFD will either be:
- Placed under a closing-only restriction, or
- Removed entirely.
Closing-only restriction means you may submit ordinary sell orders to close all or part of your position at any time, but you may not increase the position through further purchases.
Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 57.9% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with IBKR. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
