  • Trade 8,700 Stock CFDs online

Trading single stocks as CFDs is a great way to trade in both rising and falling markets. Since CFDs are traded on margin, you have the ability to profit from even small market movements.

Global markets, flexible margins, world class execution

With low commissions and transparent pricing, Saxo Bank enables you to trade the global stock markets from a single, easy-to-use, yet sophisticated trading platform. Explore the advantages:

  • Trade 8,700 Single Stock CFDs from the worlds leading financial markets.
  • Short sell stocks – the possibility of showing a profit in a falling market and for efficient hedging of current Stock positions.
  • Low margin requirements, allowing you to leverage your positions up to 20 times -6000 Single Stock CFDs with just 15% margin or lower.
  • Streaming prices give you instant fills and, often, deep liquidity.
  • Benefit from market-leading execution, delivered at the right price from a bank you can trust.

Transparent pricing

Saxo Bank provides Single Stock CFD trading on the best possible prices based on actual stock prices.

In a bid to bring greater transparency to the fast growing global CFD market, in September 2011 Saxo Bank became the first financial institution to publicly report CFD trades made on our platforms via Markit BOAT.

Access more liquidity with Saxo Bank

To improve your trading experience Saxo Bank adds additional, dedicated liquidity to the most traded Single Stock CFDs. This means more trades will execute at the volume and price you are looking for.

Take advantage of Smart Order Routing

Not all the liquidity of a stock is found on the primary exchange. In fact, sometimes up to half of a stock’s overall liquidity can be found on secondary trading venues - in Europe, these are called Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs).

At Saxo Bank, we instill the confidence that comes from getting faster order fills at the price you’re looking for. Our trading platform automatically searches all the trading venues where your stock trades, and finds the best price for you.

Low margin requirements and commissions

Saxo Bank gives you the ability to leverage your investment in Single Stock CFDs up to 20 times (5% margin required) and 6000 stocks are available with only 15% or less in margin.

Algorithmic Orders

A wide range of Algorithmic order types for CFD and Stocks are available. It is possible to place US Pre-market Limit, Iceberg, Implementation Shortfall, Reload, SmartDark, VWAP and With Volume Orders directly from the SaxoTrader Trade Ticket.

Direct Market Access

Designed to provide professional traders with further choice, Saxo Bank offers you Direct Market Access ("DMA") on Single Stock CFDs to all exchanges. When trading CFDs on the DMA setup, all your Single Stock CFD orders are sent straight to the market.

Benefit from trading with DMA setup:

  • Trade inside the market spread.
  • Place orders directly into the exchange order book.
  • Participate in opening and closing auctions.
  • Trade directly off streamed exchange prices (upon subscription).
  • Access level 2 order book with full market depth (upon subscription).

DMA is built into all Saxo Bank's trading platforms

There is no need to access another platform just to trade CFDs on DMA setup. The capability is simply a configuration on your account.

Product Risk

Danish banks are required to categorise investment products offered to retail clients depending on the product’s complexity and risk as: green, yellow or red.

A CFD is categorised as a red product as it is considered an investment product with a high complexity and a high risk. See also the 'Product Risk Categorisation' located under our General Business Terms.
