Trading CFDs (Contracts for Difference) is one of the main options offered by Doto for trading in various financial markets. This modality lets you predict the price of different assets without buying them directly.
CFDs
A CFD (Contract for Difference) in Doto is a derivative financial instrument that allows you to trade on the price of assets such as currencies, cryptocurrencies, indices, and stocks without owning them.
Instead of buying a stock or cryptocurrency, you predict the difference between the opening and closing price of the trade.
You open a position in BTC/USD at $50,000.
If the price rises to $51,000, you earn $1,000 per CFD.
If the price drops to $49,000, you have a loss of $1,000.
💡 In Doto, CFDs allow you to take advantage of market movements without buying the underlying asset.
Markets where you can trade
Doto offers CFDs on different asset classes, allowing you to diversify your trading strategy:
✅ Forex: Forecast the movements of currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY.
✅ Cryptocurrencies: trade on the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more without owning them.
✅ Stock Indices: Access major indices such as S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and Dow Jones.
✅ Stocks: Trade on the price of popular stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft.

💡 In Doto, you can access multiple markets from a single platform.
How CFD trading Works
In CFD trading, you predict the price movements of an asset, deciding whether its value will increase or decrease. Unlike traditional trading, you don't own the asset; instead, you engage in a contract reflecting the price difference between your position's opening and closing price.
Characteristics
Long and short trades
In Doto, you can profit from both bull and bear markets:
✔️ Buy (long position): if you think the price will go up, you buy the CFD and profit if the price goes up.
✔️ Sell (short position): If you think the price will go down, you sell the CFD and earn if the price goes down.
You open a Tesla (TSLA) position when it trades at $200.
If the stock goes down to $190, you earn $10 per CFD.
If it goes up to $210, you would have a loss of $10 per CFD.
💡 This flexibility is key to take advantage of any market trend.
