Questions

Do I own the underlying asset?

No. A CFD tracks the price only. You do not own the shares, coins or metal.

Can I lose more than I deposit?

Leveraged products carry that risk. Use stop losses and size positions carefully.

What are the trading hours?

They vary by market. Forex runs around the clock on weekdays; shares and indices follow exchange hours.
