What exactly are you trading?
Online trading lets you take a position on the price of a global asset without ever owning the underlying instrument.
The objective of every trade is to capture a price move. Your result is simply the difference between the level at which you open a position and the level at which you close it.
Leverage of up to 200:1 is available on selected instruments at Growth Trading. Leverage widens your market exposure from a smaller outlay, which magnifies gains and losses alike.
Part of the appeal of online trading is how direct it is: every idea is expressed as either a buy or a sell on the underlying market.
An Example of a Trade
You buy USD 250 with Euros. After a week, you exchange the dollars back to euros, making a profit of $75.
How is this possible?
When you first bought the $250 a week ago, the USD market price was 0.9 EUR. Now, the USD market price is 1.2 EUR. This 0.3 price movement earned you $75.
The gain came from a simple principle: buying the dollars cheaply and selling them back higher. Applying leverage would have scaled that result up in direct proportion, in either direction.
$250 x 200 leverage = $50,000.
$50,000 x 0.3 price movement = $15,000
Read the market correctly and the return can be meaningful, especially on a leveraged position. Read it incorrectly and your exposure is limited to the funds committed to that trade — you will not be left carrying additional debt.
Why people trade online
Growth Trading runs a lean, low-cost brokerage model in which transparent spreads take the place of legacy fees and hidden charges. Every open position shows your running result and costs side by side, and the savings from operating without a traditional branch network are returned to our clients as better pricing.
Leverage of up to 200:1 is available from your first trade, provided you keep enough margin in the account to support open exposure. It scales the size of a position — and the outcome — proportionally.
Close to 1,000 instruments are available at Growth Trading, spanning currency pairs, shares, commodities and index products.

What online trading gives you
Because you never take delivery of the underlying asset, there is no custody paperwork and no third-party contracts to arrange.
Three steps are all it takes at Growth Trading: register, fund your secured account and place your first trade.
-
LeverageLeverage lets a modest amount of capital control a much larger position, so your result is measured against the full size of the trade rather than the margin you posted.
-
DiversificationHolding positions across several asset classes smooths portfolio swings and keeps any single market from dominating your risk.
-
Risk managementStop-loss and take-profit levels do the money management for you, closing a position automatically once price reaches the boundary you defined.
-
Profit opportunitiesDirection is yours to choose: sell to benefit from a decline, or buy to benefit from a rally. Both are available on every instrument.
