Question 3

How can I invest in shares with intraday trading?

Accepted Answer

Intraday trading on shares at Opheleo means opening and closing share CFD positions within the same trading session. Because Opheleo charges zero commission on all share CFDs and no swap or overnight fees, intraday trading is particularly cost-effective. To start: create your account at my.opheleo.com, fund your account using your preferred payment method, and open share CFD positions via MetaTrader 5 (MT5) during the relevant trading session for your chosen market (US, EU, Asia, or ETF). You can take both long (buy) positions if you expect the share price to rise and short (sell) positions if you expect it to fall — allowing you to potentially profit from both upward and downward price movements within the same day.

Question 4

Do I own the shares that I trade on Opheleo?

Accepted Answer

No. When you trade shares on Opheleo, you are trading CFDs (Contracts for Difference) on share prices — not the actual underlying shares. Trading shares through Opheleo enables you to leverage the price movements of a company's stock without owning the underlying asset. This means you do not have shareholder rights such as voting rights or direct dividend ownership. However, dividend adjustments may still be applied to your CFD positions during ex-dividend events. You can profit from both upward and downward movements in share prices by taking long or short CFD positions.

Question 5

Does Opheleo charge commission on share trades?

Accepted Answer

No. Opheleo charges zero commission ($0.00 per lot per side) on all share CFD instruments. This applies across all listed shares from the USA (NYSE and NASDAQ), EU (London Stock Exchange), Asia (Tokyo Stock Exchange), and ETFs. Trading share CFDs at Opheleo is entirely commission-free, keeping your trading costs as minimal as possible.

Question 6

Are there overnight or swap fees on share positions at Opheleo?

Accepted Answer

No. Opheleo charges no swap or overnight fees on any share CFD positions. You can hold share trading positions for as long as you choose without incurring any overnight holding costs. This is a significant advantage compared to many other brokers who charge daily swap fees on leveraged share positions. Note that short swap rates on listed shares are 0.00000%, confirming no overnight charge applies in either direction.

Question 12

What are ETFs and can I trade them at Opheleo?

Accepted Answer

ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) are investment funds traded on stock exchanges that track a basket of assets such as stocks, sectors, indices, commodities, or bonds. Trading ETF CFDs at Opheleo gives diversified exposure to a group of underlying assets through a single instrument. ETFs at Opheleo trade from 16:30 to 23:00 GMT+3, Monday to Friday — the same session as US shares. Zero commission and no overnight fees apply to ETF CFD positions.

Question 13

Do dividends affect my share CFD positions at Opheleo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dividend adjustments may apply to share CFD positions held during ex-dividend dates. When a company pays a dividend, the share price typically adjusts downward by the dividend amount on the ex-dividend date. At Opheleo, long share CFD positions typically receive a dividend credit equivalent to the dividend amount, while short positions receive a corresponding debit. This mirrors the economic effect of holding or shorting the underlying share around a dividend event. For specific dividend adjustment details, consult the trading platform or contact Opheleo support.

Opheleo offers a broad range of share CFDs across global markets.

Opheleo also covers leading companies in Big Pharma, Big Tech, and other large-cap sectors including Nvidia, Tesla, and Netflix — see the full list in the trading platform.

Question 15

What is the difference between trading share CFDs and buying real shares?

Accepted Answer

When you buy real shares, you own the actual stock, receive voting rights, receive dividends directly, and can only profit when the share price rises. When you trade share CFDs at Opheleo, you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares — you can go long or short, use leverage (3.33% margin requirement on US shares), benefit from zero commission and no overnight fees, access US, EU, Asian, and ETF markets from a single platform, and trade with negative balance protection ensuring losses cannot exceed your deposited balance.

Question 16

Does Opheleo offer negative balance protection on share trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Opheleo provides negative balance protection on all share CFD trades. Accounts are fully safeguarded from going below zero. If a customer's balance falls into negative territory due to excessive losses, price gaps at market open, or high volatility, Opheleo covers the negative balance and restores it to zero. Your maximum possible loss is limited to the funds deposited in your trading account.
