Such margin represents security held by Nedbank Capital for your orders and CFD positions.You will be notified of the required collateral amount...

A contract for difference (CFD) is an over-the-counter derivative contract under which two parties agree to exchange the difference between the opening and the closing value of the contract, with reference to an underlying security. Nedbank CFD’s allow investors to speculate on the rise or fall of JSE-listed securities, without the need for ownership of the securities.CFD’s are a leveraged product requiring a deposit of cash collateral rather than the payment of the full value of the underlying position.

| Why do Forex Traders Fail |
| 2008-04-29 02:12:00 |
It is a sad fact that 90% of traders fail, and many very quickly give up. Why? When I went through a phase of losing trades I treated it as a temporary setback and went back to the drawing board. I analysed the reasons of my failure and I sought the guidance of Top Traders, Mentors and Coaches to put me back on the path of success and profitability. In my opinion the high rate of failure for a new trader can be related to the six major obstacles that a trader faces, which are summarised as follows – Poor Skills Lack of adequate capital Setting unrealistic targets and goals Lack of Patience Lack of discipline High risk aversion. If we look at the list, it becomes apparent that the failure is as a result of trading without having in place a proper Trading System and a Trading...
