A stock CFD (Contract for Difference) tracks the price of an individual company’s share — for example, Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), or Amazon (AMZN). Instead of buying the actual share on the stock exchange, you open a CFD position with Amillex. You profit if the share price moves in your predicted direction. CFDs allow both long (buy) and short (sell) positions, and leverage can amplify your exposure.

Yes. One of the primary advantages of stock CFDs is the ability to short-sell — profiting when a share price falls. Traditional stockbrokers rarely allow retail clients to short individual stocks. On Amillex, you simply open a sell position on any available stock CFD and profit from a decline in price.

When a company whose stock you are holding as a CFD pays a dividend, an equivalent cash adjustment is made to your Amillex account. Long (buy) positions receive a dividend credit; short (sell) positions are debited the dividend equivalent. This mirrors the economic impact of dividend payments without requiring actual share ownership.
