NVIDIA Stock CFD Trading: How to Trade NVDA CFDs
BY TIOmarkets
|March 17, 2026NVIDIA has become one of the most closely followed stocks in global markets, driven by its position in semiconductors, graphics processing, and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
As a CFD, NVDA allows traders to speculate on its price movements in either direction, without owning the underlying shares. You can go long if you expect the price to rise, or short if you expect it to fall, with leverage available to control a larger position relative to your deposited margin.
At TIOmarkets, NVDA is available as a stock CFD on both MT4 and MT5. This guide covers the contract specifications, trading hours, account options, and the mechanics of placing an NVDA CFD trade.
What Is NVIDIA Stock CFD Trading?
A CFD, or contract for difference, is an agreement to exchange the difference in an asset's price between when a trade is opened and when it is closed. When you trade NVDA as a CFD, you do not own shares in NVIDIA Corporation. You are taking a position on whether the share price will rise or fall over the period your trade is open.
If you expect the price to increase, you open a buy (long) position. If you expect it to decrease, you open a sell (short) position. Your result is determined by the size of the price movement multiplied by the size of your position.
Stock CFDs use leverage, meaning you deposit only a fraction of the total position value as margin. This amplifies both potential gains and potential losses relative to that margin deposit.
NVDA CFD Contract Specifications
The following specifications are confirmed from the TIOmarkets NVDA instrument page.
Symbol: NVDA
Standard lot size: 100 shares
Minimum lot size: 1 share (0.01 lots)
Leverage: Up to 1:20, subject to change depending on market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.

Overnight financing: Check inside the MT4 or MT5 platform. Overnight holding costs on stock CFDs are calculated on a financing basis. To view the current rate for NVDA, right-click on the symbol in the Market Watch window and select Specification.
Platforms: MT4 and MT5.
NVDA Trading Hours
NVDA CFDs follow the trading hours of the underlying exchange. Confirmed trading hours are as follows:
Monday to Friday: 16:30 to 23:00 (platform server time) Saturday and Sunday: Closed
These hours broadly correspond to the regular session of the US equity market. NVDA is not available for trading outside these hours. Always verify current session times inside your platform.
How Leverage and Margin Work on NVDA
At 1:20 leverage, a 5% margin requirement applies to NVDA positions. This means that to open a position worth $2,000, you need $100 in available margin in your account.
For example, if NVDA is trading at $200 per share and you buy 0.1 lots (10 shares), your position value is $2,000. The margin required to hold that trade is $100. If the share price rises by $50, your profit on a 10-share position would be $500. If it falls by $50, your loss would equally be $500. The leverage ratio means that relatively small price moves can result in significant gains or losses relative to the margin used.
TIOmarkets applies a margin call at 100% margin level and a stop out at 30% margin level across all accounts. These levels are subject to change depending on market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.
How to Place an NVDA CFD Trade
Open the Market Watch window on MT4 or MT5 and locate the NVDA symbol. Right-click and select Chart Window to view the price chart before placing a trade, or New Order to open the order entry window directly.
In the order window, confirm the symbol is NVDA and choose your order type. A market execution order opens at the best currently available price. Orders are executed at the best available market price, which may result in positive or negative slippage. A pending order allows you to schedule entry at a price level you define in advance.
Set your lot size, and consider placing a stop loss and take profit to define the risk parameters of the trade. Once the order is placed, your open position appears in the Trade tab of the Terminal (MT4) or Toolbox (MT5) window, where you can monitor it, adjust it, or close it at any time.
Account Types for Trading NVDA
NVDA is available across the Standard, Raw, and VIP Black accounts on MT4 and MT5.
The Standard account carries a minimum spread of 1.1 pips with zero commission and a minimum deposit of $20 or currency equivalent. A Standard account is created automatically when you register. It supports up to unlimited leverage on eligible instruments and is available on both MT4 and MT5.
The Raw account offers spreads from 0.0 with a $6 commission per round turn lot. The minimum deposit is $250 or currency equivalent and leverage is up to 1:500 on request. Raw accounts must be opened separately through the client area.
The VIP Black account offers spreads from 0.3 with zero commission, a minimum deposit of $1,000 or currency equivalent, and leverage up to 1:500 on request. VIP Black accounts must also be opened separately.
On the Raw account, commission is charged in full when the position is opened and covers both the open and close of the trade. At 1.0 lots the commission is $6, at 0.1 lots it is $0.60, and at 0.01 lots it is $0.06.
All accounts support hedging, carry a maximum of 200 open and pending orders per client, and a maximum of 20 lots per trade. Margin call is 100% and stop out is 30% on all accounts, except the Standard account at 1:2000 leverage where stop out is 40%. All figures are subject to change depending on market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements.
MT4 and MT5 for NVDA Trading
Both platforms are available for NVDA trading via desktop, web, and mobile. Automated trading using Expert Advisors requires the desktop version. EA execution is not supported on the web or mobile platforms.
MT5 provides a broader feature set than MT4, including 21 timeframes versus 9, a built-in economic calendar, multi-threaded strategy testing with real ticks, and six order execution types compared to four on MT4. MT5 also supports three order fill policies: Fill or Kill, Immediate or Cancel, and Return. MT4 supports Fill or Kill only.
Traders moving from MT4 to MT5 should note that MQL4 Expert Advisors are not directly compatible with MT5, which uses MQL5. Switching platforms may require sourcing or rewriting your EA in MQL5.
Desktop versions of both platforms support Windows and macOS.
Dividend Adjustments on NVDA
As a stock CFD, NVDA positions held open at the ex-dividend date may receive a dividend adjustment. This reflects the dividend on the underlying stock and is applied according to whether you hold a long or short position at that time.
