if you want to trade is better to have a margin account vs cash account
margin account allow u to borrow $$$ from brokerage, u dont have time to transfer money to your account when u are trading.
CFD allow u to buy a stock at a price of 10%. Eg. If a stock price is $100, u just have to pay $10.
However, u must watch out the maintenance margin to avoid margin call.
CFD is a double edged sword
