I suspect stockbrokers and CFD providers want to merge the two in order to make more money off clients, so I keep it all separate. Imagine some of the scenarios. One of them would be a client, in the heat of the moment, moves all their stockbroking money over to CFDs, then loses it all. So instead of making $100 brokerage, the CFD provider makes $100,000. Or the client accidentally bets on a $50 per pip transaction, when they intended to do a $1 per pip transaction. Or the client forgets to put a guaranteed stop loss on, and a government decision causes a currency to gaps down 20% as happened with CHF last year, I think. There are lots of ways for things to go wrong. So I reckon it's best to keep stockbroking and CFDs with separate companies and to keep a small amount in your CFD account.
