For short open CFD positions, I will generally be paid interest. The broker opens a matching short hedge position in the underlying stock. I assume the broker will incur a short interest fee on the hedge position. Will I pay the short interest fee or is it just incorporated by making the...

If you want to trade to make a million dollars, the most important thing to learn is that you will never know anything beyond doubt.
