Are you daytrading or long term ?
I am a bit into binary options as CFD's have a too high risk for me.
Means that with binary options you know how much you loose in the worst case, with cfd's you don't.
I know there is a stop loss and so on, still.. I think the risk is higher.
(for someone doing it as hobby, not professional).
I also buy sometimes regular stocks on long term (few month). Mainly Austrian stocks (no penny stocks).
