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.
