FX, crypto, stock markets — you name it

1. What is CFD trading?

A CFD, or contract for difference, is a popular way of trading by speculating on the price movements of currencies, stocks or other assets without actually owning them. Trading a CFD means making a contract with a broker, like us, on whether an asset’s price will go up or down. If it moves in the direction you forecasted, the difference between the current and future price becomes your profit. That’s it.

2. How do I trade on the forex market?

Trading on the forex market means exchanging one country’s currency for another’s without actually owning them. Instead, you try to forecast whether one currency will go up or down against another. With EURUSD, for example, you buy if you think the euro’s going up against the US dollar, or sell if you think it’s heading for a dip. If you’re right, you make a profit. The forex market is buzzing 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, so you can trade currency pairs anytime Monday through Friday.
On Doto, you can trade CFDs on over 80 global currencies, from forex majors like the US dollar and euro to exotics like the Norwegian krone and South African rand.

3. How do I trade on the indices market?

Trading on the indices market is kind of like getting a combo meal instead of single dishes. You’re trading a bunch of stocks grouped in an index, not picking them one by one. The index’s value jumps or dips depending on how these grouped companies are doing. Your mission? Forecast the movement. So if you’re thinking about trading on the S&P 500, buy if you think US companies are booming, and sell if you think they aren’t doing too good. If you’re right, you make a profit. Trading indices is a smart way to engage with the stock market without having to analyze and invest in individual stocks.
On Doto, you can trade CFDs on indices such as S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, DAX, FTSE and more.

4. How do I trade on the commodities market?

Trading on the commodities market is like dealing with real products — gold, oil, you name it — but without having to actually buy any barrels or bricks and store them in your backyard. The key is to analyze whether the prices of these commodities will climb or take a dive. Let’s say you’ve got your eye on gold. If you think its price is going to increase, you buy. If you think it’s going to drop, you sell. Getting it right means you could see some gains. Trading on the commodities market is for those who keep tabs on world events and economic trends, as these can sway prices.
On Doto, you can trade CFDs on commodities such as gold (XAUUSD), silver (XAGUSD), oil (UKOUSD), natural gas (XNGUSD) and more.

5. How do I trade on the crypto market?

Trading in the crypto markets is less about owning digital currencies and more about predicting their price moves. No need to pick a crypto exchange or stress over a digital wallet — you’re not holding the coins. Your task? Analyze whether the price of a cryptocurrency is going to skyrocket or plummet. If you reckon Bitcoin’s going up, buy. If you think it’s going down, sell. Get your forecasts right, and you could rake in some profits. Trading on the crypto market is a neat way to dip your toes into the world of cryptocurrencies without all the complications of storing them.
On Doto, you can trade CFDs on crypto such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin and more.

6. How do I trade on the stock market?

"Think of trading on the stock market as engaging in the price action of big-name companies like Apple and Tesla without needing to buy a single share. You’re basically trying to outsmart the market by analyzing if a stock’s price will rise or fall. Feeling confident that Tesla’s stock is going to soar? Go ahead and buy. Sensing a dip on the horizon? Selling is the way to go. Getting it right means you could profit from these price changes. Trading on the stock market is an exciting way to take part in the global commercial market without owning the stocks yourself.
