30 July 2026Trader (Leveraged) products on Shyft
Trader on Shyft offers traditional (Shares and ETFs) and geared (leveraged) instruments such as CFDs and FX SPOT trading. Geared products allow you to take larger positions with a smaller amount of money upfront. This magnifies both potential gains and potential losses. They are designed for short-term trading or hedging, not for buy-and-hold investing.
