CFD Trading
Libertex's list of CFDs covers a decent range of tradeable underlying assets, but there isn't much depth with only around 250 in total. Leverage up to 1:30 for retail clients is available in accordance with CySEC regulations, and traders can choose between three excellent trading platforms. Best of all are the tight spreads available on all markets and the zero commissions on investments in stocks.	Skilling offers 800+ CFDs covering stocks, indices, forex and commodities. The powerful charting platforms facilitate ultra-fast execution times of 0.05 seconds and seasoned algo traders can execute complex CFD strategies using cTrader's C# programming language.
