The second essential aspect of CFD trading is the timeframe. Short-term trading (sometimes referred to as intraday trading) allows traders to profit from price changes from hour to hour or minute to minute. One advantage of short-term trading is that you can limit financing costs. Conversely, some investors prefer long-term trading because of the higher level of forecasting ability created by the underlying trends governing the market. A long-term CFD trading strategy also allows you to capture larger price moves, as these trades typically last from a month to a year (or longer). InterTrader.com offers both undated contracts and futures, to provide for both short-term and long-term CFD strategies.
