Contracts for Differences aka CFD was developed to allow traders to trade stock, forex, index or commodity position without having to physically own the underlying instrument itself. Nothing is being purchased, you are only betting the broker (casino) that the price will go up or down.  It works like that if your deposit gets below a threshold they auto-liquidate your position.
