Plus500 review 2026: fees and key features
Plus500 CFD offers contracts for difference linked to asset prices through its trading platform. The contract provides price exposure rather than ownership of the underlying asset. Costs include the buy/sell spread, with funding potentially applying after an instrument-specific cutoff. Guaranteed stops are limited to supported instruments and carry a wider spread. The Israeli service is described under Plus500IL; Plus500UK terms are considered separately. Leveraged trading can rapidly exhaust invested funds. Plus500 Invest and the US futures service are different offerings.

Plus500 CFD: contracts for difference
Trading contracts for difference through Plus500 provides price exposure without ownership of the underlying asset. Spreads, funding, margin and closing-order conditions depend on the instrument and entity. Israeli facts concern Plus500IL; UK facts are labelled separately. This product is neither Plus500 Invest nor a US Futures account. Leveraged trading carries a risk of rapidly losing invested funds.
