Consider how much you have to invest in Disney shares CFD’s
Something you need to consider when investing or trading in Disney shares is how much of your portfolio to devote to this stock. The answer, as with any investment or trade, depends on your financial means, trading objectives and risk tolerance.
Bearing in mind that there are many variables involved in the decision making process, it is worth doing some research before executing the trade. A good way to start is to decide how much you are willing to risk or lose, then work out how many shares to buy or sell from that.
If the share price goes up by $30, you can potentially make $30 per share. However, if the price falls by $30, you can potentially lose $30 per share. The greater the number of shares that you buy in Disney, the more you can potentially make or lose.

How much do you need to buy shares in Disney?
You need at least $50 to open your trading account with TIOmarkets, to buy shares in Disney UK. However, the minimum amount required to buy one share CFD is much less than that. Because you have the ability to trade or invest using leverage and margin.
TIOmarkets allows you to buy shares in Disney UK with just 5% of the value of the shares. This is the margin required. For example, if the share price is $150, you only need ($150 x 0.05%) $7.5 per share. As margin to open and maintain your investment in Disney.
Here is another way to look at it.
If you have $1,000 to invest, you could buy six shares in Disney. The margin requirement would be ($150 x 6 = $900) x 0.05% as margin = $45. Under this scenario, you would only need $45 to open and maintain an investment of six shares in Disney.
This excludes brokerage fees and that would depend on your account type. The costs involved are further illustrated below.
Work out your risk tolerance
Trading using leverage and margin allows you to buy more shares in Disney UK than the amount of money you have in your trading account.
Although trading using leverage can increases your potential to profit, it also increases your risk of loss.
When you trade or invest using leverage and margin, the margin is being used as collateral to maintain your investment. In case of any adverse price movements, the margin will be used as collateral until your equity draws down to 30% of the margin requirement. At which point the platform will automatically start closing the losing deal.
The more you have in your trading account as equity, the less likely you are to experience this due to adverse price movements in the stocks share price.

Determine your trading or investing goals
Fortunately, it is not that difficult to buy shares in Disney UK. You should have a good idea about the process by now but you should consider your trading or investing goals before proceeding.
People trade or invest in different ways and for different reasons. Some people are prepared to take high risks for high short term rewards, while others want a relatively safe investment over the long term.
All forms of trading or investing are risky. How you trade will determine whether there is a better or worse probability of seeing a return on your investment. The latter is more likely to happen when you are undercapitalized or over leveraged. To trade with less leverage, you can deposit more money or buy or sell fewer share CFD’s and capitalising your account correctly.
For example, if Disney’s share price is $150 and you deposit $150 it would be the equivalent of trading using 1:1 leverage. Under this scenario, the share price would have to fall to 30% of your deposit, or approximately $45 before your deal is closed. Assuming there are no other investments using some of that money as margin as well.
Things to consider when buying share CFD’s
CFD’s (Contracts for Difference) are a type of investment derivative. CFD’s tracks the price of Disney’s shares and you will profit or lose the difference, depending on the prices you buy or sell at. When you buy or sell CFD’s in Disney, you’re speculating on whether the share price will rise or fall. You are not actually investing in the Disney company, all trading involves risk.
CFD’s also incur costs every time a trade or investment is opened or closed. Which includes the spread, broker commissions and overnight swaps for rolling the deal over to the next trading day. These can all be subject to change, depending on market conditions.
