What are futures & how do they work?

Futures give the buyer the obligation to buy the underlying market, and the seller the obligation to sell at or before the contract’s expiry. With us, you can speculate on the price of a future (or forwards, as they’re known in shares, ETFs and forex markets) using CFDs.

Are futures and Forward Markets listed separately?

On our mobile app, futures and forward markets are listed separately to spot and cash markets. Before you open your position, you should consider adding stops and limits to your trade. Stops and limits are highly recommended tools for managing your risk while trading futures.

Which markets are best for trading futures & forwards?

Other markets, such as gold or silver commodity futures are often preferred by traders who have lower risk appetites and enjoy markets with lower volatility. Remember, we offer futures and forwards on indices, bonds, interest rates, shares, forex and ETFs.

Should I go long or short when trading futures?

When trading futures, you can go both long or short. You’d go long if you believed that the underlying market price will rise, and you’d go short if you believed it will fall. With our CFD futures, your profit or loss is determined by the accuracy of your prediction, and the overall size of the market movement.
