A broker that's excellent in London may not be allowed to accept you in Sydney, and the entity that can will carry a different regulator, different leverage caps and different protection. Jump to where you live.

Risk warning
United Kingdom · FCA

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 53% and 80% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Brokers shown for the UK are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Eligible retail clients may be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000 if the firm itself fails — this does not cover trading losses.
