Can I trade CFDs with a cash account?

Yes. CFDs, including index CFDs, share CFDs, and other CFD products, can be traded in a cash type account. A margin account is not required. However, CFD trading always requires initial margin. If you hold a cash account, the necessary funds will be automatically transferred from your main account to meet the CFD initial margin requirement whenever you open a CFD position.
