Trade US shares via CFDs or spread bets

US Share CFDs are financial derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of US shares without actually owning the underlying assets.

1. Find a reputable CFD broker that offers US shares, such as Pepperstone.
2. Open an account with the broker and complete the necessary verification process.
3. Deposit funds into your trading account.
4. Use the broker's trading platform.
5. Specify the quantity and any additional parameters, such as stop-loss level.
6. Execute the trade.

Some advantages include:

1. The ability to profit from both rising and falling markets through long and short positions.
2. Leverage, which allows traders to amplify their potential returns (but also increases risks).
3. Liquidity, as the US stock market is one of the largest and most liquid markets globally.
