If you are sure that CFD trading is for you and you wish to proceed to open an account with us, please read and accept the statements below.

If you have any queries, please contact our Account Management Team on 0845 671 6719.

CFD trading typically requires the deposit of a small percentage of the total trade value. As the financial outcome is determined by the price movement on the total trade value, profits and losses can quickly exceed the initial deposit. Ensure you understand the risks as these products are not suitable for everyone.

Before contemplating opening an account please ensure that you have familiarised yourself with the benefits and risks associated with the products. In particular, ensure that you have read and understood our Terms and Policies. Please note that the Market Information Sheets differ slightly for the Limited Risk Account.

While the Charles Stanley Financial Spreads CFD service is provided as an execution only service and does not give any investment advice, if you are a Charles Stanley Advisory Client, you may wish to discuss your CFD investments with your Charles Stanley broker. If you are in doubt you should consult your Charles Stanley broker or your financial advisor.


I confirm that I understand:
  • That trading on margin using CFDs facilitates larger trades than conventionally settled, full-value trading.
  • That I understand that trading on margin involves making an initial deposit to open a position and the obligation to meet running losses in full in accordance with the Charles Stanley Financial Spreads Terms & Conditions.
  • That I can lose more than any initial deposit placed to open a trade.
  • That Charles Stanley Financial Spreads offer an execution only service.
  • The risks associated with trading CFDs and that I consider these products to be suitable for me.
