I believe options are more profitable. With just one trade you gain around 90% of your investment, and what is the main appeal, it happens quickly. You can choose the time-limit of your trades, from seconds to minutes to hours, whatever your trading strategy is.
Some might argue that CFD trading can be more profitable, since there is an option for returns ratio of 1:2,1:3 or even more, but for such profitability you need a day or more to leave your position open… and a lot of stress, too. Imagine how many times you will second-guess your analysis when the prices are not going as you expected.
