Hey, what will happen if I have open CFD positions during Tesla stock split? Will the positions automatically close or will the positions be split? ---

Automatically the positions will be split if whole share, fractional shares not included in split. Now needs to be confirmed as additional information is stated elsewhere! ---

I guess nothing. CFDs represent the underlying value. CFDs aren’t stocks. @Team212 could give the definitive answer on this. ---

Hello, what’s going to happen to my long position on tesla after the stock split? I don’t want to lose all my money because maybe it’s not well recognized by tue system. Please help! ---

@romoloo @aryamanwig @chantal @eMJey There’s been an update so ignore the reply by staff to me 4 days ago… tesla will now receive shares if suitable within their fraction proportion. example: 0.5 shares will receive, 2 tesla shares with 0.1 sold by T212. should you wish to sell your 0.1 you can. There is a post titled Tesla Split in the forum, it has 256+ messages but if you start from the bottom and scroll up there is a message from staff with a table included. Apologies in advance if you were aware, as i received a notification and forgot abut this post, i thought it best just to include everyone here. ---

This is about CFDs. CFDs don’t split. They keep the same value. ---

???’ what are you talkin about? CFDs follow real data price. How would that work if tesla doesnt split? ---

because the total of the splits is the same… 1 x $1000 or 5 x $200 is the same value. CFD contract represents a value, not an amount of shares. ---
