I've heard some concerns that CFD brokers might trade against their clients. Is this true? I'm worried that the broker might bet against me, causing me to lose money. Can someone clarify if CFD brokers actually trade against their customers?

One significant disadvantage of CFD trading is that traders do not have direct exposure to the market. Instead, their trades are placed against the broker, creating a potential conflict of interest.
