Question 1

Does buying an AMZN CFD at LHFX make me a part-owner of Amazon?

Accepted Answer

It does not. A CFD on AMZN is a contract between you and LHFX that pays out based on the price movement of the underlying share, settled in USD. You are not added to Amazon's shareholder register, you carry no voting rights at the annual meeting, and you do not appear in any corporate action mailing list.

Question 2

Why does AWS get so much attention when retail is most of the revenue?

Accepted Answer

Because retail brings in the cash but AWS brings in the profit. AWS operating income alone runs above $40 billion annually, which is more than the rest of the company combined contributes on the operating line. Analysts model the stock on AWS growth first because that segment is what justifies the price-to-earnings multiple.

Question 3

What happens to my AMZN CFD position when Amazon reports earnings?

Accepted Answer

The report drops after the 4 PM ET close. The LHFX CFD does not trade in after-hours, so your position holds at the close price until the next regular-session open. Whatever the underlying does in the after-market session will print as a gap when the market reopens, which is why sizing before the print matters more than reacting to it.

Question 4

Is the $3 per side commission the only cost I will pay on an AMZN trade?

Accepted Answer

On the trade itself, yes, plus the bid-ask spread of the underlying market. The $3 charges on open and again on close, so a round-trip is $6. If you hold the position past the daily rollover, an overnight swap is applied, which can be either a credit or a debit depending on direction and current rates.

Question 5

Can I trade AMZN from outside the United States on LHFX?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LHFX serves traders in legitimate non-US jurisdictions across Africa, Asia, and other regions. The LHFX AMZN CFD is denominated in USD on a multi-currency wallet, accessed through MT5, and the regular trading session matches NASDAQ regular hours, which works from late afternoon onwards across most non-US time zones.

Question 6

Should I use the full 1:20 leverage when I trade AMZN?

Accepted Answer

Most experienced traders run at effective leverage in the 1:3 to 1:5 range on a name as gap-prone as AMZN. The 1:20 cap is the platform maximum, not a recommended sizing. At 1:20 a single 5% session can wipe out your margin on a fully sized position, and AMZN has multiple 5%-plus sessions every quarter.
