Dukascopy Rolls Out Stock Trading Platform Offering Over 25,000 Long-Only CFDs

Dukascopy launched a dedicated Stock Trading Platform offering access to more than 25,000 stock and ETF CFDs via JForex4 Desktop, expanding market coverage to 20 markets with plans to reach 87. The new environment is long-only with 1:1 leverage, does not support automation, removes some exposure limits present on JForex, and is funded through a JForex sub-account. The move complements recent instrument expansions on MetaTrader 5 (from ~100 to 400+ instruments, including metals and crypto) and effectively splits equity trading into a standalone, lower-risk retail-focused venue. Market impact: broader retail access to global equities and ETFs, likely increased trading volumes in long-only products, reduced short-selling activity on Dukascopy’s platform, and potential shifts in client flows between JForex (leveraged, automated strategies) and the new platform (simple, long-only exposure).
