CFD Crosses Overview
When you buy and sell stocks, you own them outright. Stock CFDs are a type of asset that allows you to trade the price movements of stocks, without owning any shares in that company at all. Another difference is that you can trade with the expectation that a stock's price will actually fall in value - not just rise. You can't do this with normal stock trading.
Crosses reflect the real-time ratio between the two assets. This means your trade moves with the relationship of each market, and not only the price.
Crosses CFDs are available on the Alpari Standard (MT4 & MT5), Alpari ECN (MT4), and Alpari Pro ECN (MT4 & MT5) trading accounts.
Contract specifications for spreads, commission, lot sizes, swap values, and leverage may differ from account to account, and for different Crosses. Check the full contract specifications for more details. You can find them under the symbol group "Crosses CFD" in MetaTrader.
