They said that the C in CFD couldn't be provided...they said the terms of the contract were the aggregate of all their web pages on the subject, that could change at any time. There is no identifiable set of terms for the contract you're entering into. So I have never used the facility. You get more certainty with the mafia.

Might as well buy Chinese stocks!

But this makes me think of a concept for contracts on the block chain, where the "contract" is whatever a snippet of computer code says it is, and you put the source code of the snippet on the block chain. That is, you, or your counterparty, is obligated to pay whatever running the code says you need to pay, which is in principle completely predictable ahead of time by you as you can run the contracted code with whatever pricing assumptions you want.

Maybe IBD would be willing to send you a copy of the code with which they implement their CFD? Probably not...
