# For CFD Traders

**CFD Trading on Avantis**

Trade the same assets you already know — forex, gold, indices, stocks — but without a broker. Onchain, transparent, self-custody.

***

**Why Avantis Over a CFD Broker?**

**No B-book.** Traditional CFD brokers take the other side of your trade. When you lose, they profit. Avantis uses a decentralized liquidity pool and independent oracle pricing (Pyth/Chainlink). Nobody profits from your losses.

**Self-custody.** Your funds stay in your wallet. No withdrawal requests, no approval queues, no account freezes.

**Transparent fees.** Clear, verifiable fee structure.

**No KYC to trade.** Log in with email, Google, X, or SMS. Start trading in under 5 minutes.
