Spot trading vs forwards and futures

Spot trading

Spot prices reflect the underlying asset’s price

You can open short-term positions with low spreads, which makes spot trading popular among day traders

There are no fixed expiries on spot trades

You can conduct technical analysis over a longer period with the help of continuous charting

Forwards and futures

Futures and forwards are contracts used to speculate on the future value of a market

Our futures and forwards prices reflect the underlying contract’s price

You can open longer-term positions with no overnight fees, which makes forwards and futures trading popular among swing or position traders

Both contract types have a fixed expiry date at some point in the future

What is spot (cash) trading?

Spot (cash) trading is the method of buying and selling assets at the current market rate, known as the spot price. With us, you’ll trade the spot market via CFDs, which means you don’t take ownership or delivery of the assets.

Benefits of trading spot markets with us

Because you don’t take physical delivery of the underlying assets when trading spot markets, you can go long or short on their price.
