Learn about online futures trading

Futures CFDs are derivative contracts made on underlying assets or financial products, such as gold, currencies or indices. Online futures trading refers to entering into a futures CFD contract. CFD stands for ‘Contract for Difference’, and a CFD commits you and your broker to exchange the difference in the price of an underlying asset between the opening and closing of your CFD position. CFD futures trading allows you to use leverage to gain bigger exposure to the market while not directly owning the underlying asset.

Frequently asked questions

What are CFD futures & how do I trade them?

CFD futures are a type of financial derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price movements of futures contracts or hedge against the price direction of a security, commodity, index or other financial product without owning the actual underlying asset. By purchasing a futures contract, parties agree to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future - regardless of the current market price at the expiration date.

Especially in commodities, futures trading allows traders to hedge against external conditions (like weather) that can impact crop prices. This means a farmer can set coffee prices upfront in case market prices fall at harvest time, while the buyer could lock in prices in case they soar by the time the crops are delivered.

In online futures trading, indices are also commonly traded as CFD futures. For example, Nasdaq and Dow Jones futures contracts give traders a possibility to speculate on the price changes of major benchmarks with leverage.

Online futures CFD trading allow traders to use leverage to increase their exposure meaning they can control larger positions with a smaller investment. To start trading CFD futures, you need to open an account with an online broker to get access to global markets.

Stop loss order is a popular tool that can help you limit losses on your position if the price of the futures contract underlying your CFD moves in an unfavourable direction.

Placing a stop loss order means requesting that the broker closes your position once the price of the underlying futures climbs or falls to a certain price. This is helpful as it means your trades need less monitoring and it can help limit significant losses, particularly in volatile markets.

That said, note that a stop loss order does not guarantee closure at your specified price, as positions may be affected by price gaps over market closures, data release or other economic factors.
