How to sell shares on trading 212 using a CFD (Contract for Difference) account. When you trade a CFD, you are betting on the price of an asset going up or down – but unlike traditional stock trading, your losses can never exceed the amount you have invested. You can also take a short position, which means selling a share you have borrowed from your broker in the hope that its price will fall.

A great thing about trading 212 is that you can trade in your currency of choice, which saves you money as other brokers will charge you for the conversion fee. You can choose between US Dollars, Pounds and Euros – which is perfect if you have existing investments in other currencies. You can deposit and withdraw with your chosen currency too, which will further reduce your costs as it eliminates any fees from your bank.
