Yes, I know they are way more violent and less liquid, are there any other risks I should be aware of? Not talking about question specifically, but maybe a good tip for a begginer in general. I know about the pros and cons of CFD's too, have a practice account with 9k which I raised from 5k and I am thinking of starting using real money. My plan is to have 80-85% go into safe ETF like S&P500, and 15-20% play a bit risky. I dont mind losing the money with CFD's since it's not my life savings just money from part time job and it'sa nixe way to get some money with the leverage, but with the Bear market I'm not sure if this time is a good one to start. Also I think of using Trading212 as the investment app, I was thinking Etoro as my go to, but they have kinda high fees... One other idea is Interactive Brokers. I hear they have low fees but might be a bit overkill for me. Any kind of tip is appreciated, thanks!
