Trading Amazon share CFDs at a glance
- Amazon (AMZN) is listed on the NASDAQ; its business spans e-commerce retail and the AWS cloud division, so both consumer demand and cloud growth feed into how the price moves.
- With Weltrade you trade Amazon as a share CFD on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 — you take a position on the price without owning the underlying stock, and you get no shareholder rights or voting.
- A CFD lets you go long if you expect Amazon to rise or short if you expect it to fall, so you can act on both directions of a move.
- Leverage of up to 1:1000 is available, which means a small deposit controls a larger position — this magnifies both profit and loss, and you can lose money quickly.
- Amazon share CFDs track US market hours; quarterly earnings, AWS cloud growth figures and peak retail seasons like the holiday sales period are the events that tend to move the price and can widen spreads.
- You can start from a $25 minimum deposit on a Premium or Pro account, both of which support MT4 and MT5, and test the market first on a free unlimited demo before risking real funds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I trade Amazon shares from Malaysia with Weltrade?
Yes — Weltrade offers Amazon (AMZN) as a share CFD you can trade long or short on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
Do I own the Amazon stock?
No — a CFD tracks the share price so you can profit from price moves without owning the underlying stock.
Do I actually own Amazon stock when I trade the CFD?
No. A CFD is a contract for the difference between the price when you open and close the trade. You never take delivery of a real Amazon share, so you have no shareholder or voting rights. The upside is flexibility — you can go short as easily as long, and start from a $25 deposit — but the trade is a leveraged position on price direction, so you can lose money quickly.
Should I go long or short on Amazon?
That depends on your own view of where the price is heading. Go long (Buy) if you expect Amazon to rise, or short (Sell) if you expect it to fall. Many traders line up their view with the events that move the stock — quarterly earnings, AWS cloud growth numbers and peak retail seasons. Whichever way you trade, set a stop loss, because leverage magnifies losses as well as gains.
Should I use MT4 or MT5 for Amazon share CFDs?
Both work and both are free. MT5 has a built-in economic calendar and Depth of Market, plus more timeframes (21 vs 9) and more pending order types (6 vs 4), which can help you plan around Amazon's earnings dates. MT4 is simpler and forex-oriented. On Weltrade, MT5 is available on Premium and Pro accounts; MT4 is available on Cent, Premium and Pro. If you are unsure, try both on a free demo.
When can I trade Amazon and why do spreads sometimes widen?
Amazon share CFDs follow US market hours. Spreads can widen around scheduled events — most notably quarterly earnings reports and major news about AWS cloud growth or retail sales — because the market is moving fast and volume shifts. If you are trading around those dates, size your position carefully and use a stop loss to control risk.
How do I practise before risking real money?
Open a free, unlimited demo account and run through the whole process: install MT4 or MT5, log in with the account number, password and Weltrade server from your client cabinet, find the AMZN symbol, and place practice Buy and Sell orders. When you are consistent on demo, repeat the same steps on a live Premium or Pro account funded from $25. Remember that demo conditions do not remove the real risk of losing money once you trade live.
