Global shares

Trade the market.

Trade the household names that shape the world — the biggest companies in technology, finance and consumer goods — long or short, from a single account.

What is shares trading?

Share trading lets you take a position on individual companies. With Otto you trade shares as CFDs, so you can profit from rising prices by going long, or from falling prices by going short — without owning the underlying stock or dealing with a separate brokerage account.

That flexibility, combined with leverage, makes it possible to trade earnings season, product launches and market rotations across US, European and UK listings, all from the same platform you use for every other market.

✓Hundreds of global blue-chip shares
✓Go long or short with CFDs
✓US, European and UK listings
✓Trade earnings and market-moving news
✓Fractional exposure — start small

FAQ

Shares — common questions

Do I own the shares I trade?

No. You trade share CFDs, which track the price of the underlying stock. This lets you go long or short and use leverage, but you do not own the shares or receive voting rights.

Can I short-sell a stock?

Yes. With CFDs you can open a sell position to profit if you expect a company's share price to fall.

What leverage applies to shares?

Shares carry lower leverage than FX — typically up to 1:20 — reflecting their higher single-name risk.
