ETF CFDs

ETFs are funds that are traded on stock exchanges like individual shares. They track an index, which can run on a wide variety of assets. ETFs are available for stocks, bonds, commodities, sectors and strategies and thus a way to diversify one's approach.

An ETF CFD is thus the combination of a CFD (contract for difference - more here) with an ETF (as underlying) and also combines their advantages with those of a CFD.

Advantages: 

• Leverage: ETF-CFDs can already be traded with lower capital investment than pure ETFs. Depending on the product, you can trade an ETF CFD already with 1/5 of the capital. The leverage effect can therefore be exploited.
• Long and short trading: You can bet on falling and rising prices and thus act depending on the market reaction. Pure ETFs are usually pure long products. 
• Exposure: You trade the CFD with ETF as underlying. Thus, you trade the desired exposure on the ETF directly from MetaTrader.
