How long can I hold a CFD?

CFDs do not have an actual expiry date and can remain open as long as possible. However, keeping the position open after the market close can incur fees known as a rollover in CFDs or swaps in Forex currency pairs. Therefore, it would be in your best interest to calculate possible swaps in advance and project it onto your expected return.

Is CFD trading taxable?

CFD trading, in general, is a taxable income and subject to capital gains tax within EEA. However, UK residents can take advantage of Spread Betting, which is exempt from both stamp duty and taxation.

CFDs are not traded in a regular stock exchange, and therefore don’t have expiration dates that would require buying or selling the underlying asset at a certain price.
