Futures Trading

Trade Forex Like a Pro

Our clients can gain access to the major indices as well as major commodity and energy futures through CFDs offered by FxPro.

Key Benefits of Trading CFDs on Futures with FxPro:

  • Ability to go long or short.
  • Get exposure to major equity indices with a fraction of the required exchange margin.
  • Get access to agricultural commodities and monitor changes based on global food prices.
  • Trade crude oil and natural gas futures – all within the same trading account.

Pricing

FxPro provides prices on its CFDs that closely track the real prices of the futures contracts traded on the exchanges, and prices are quoted in the underlying currency of the future contract. FxPro charges a fraction of the commission charged by the underlying exchange and requires a smaller deposited margin than that of the exchange.

Trading Times

Trading times for all futures CFDs are exactly the same as the trading times of the underlying exchange on which futures contracts are traded.

Order Sizes

Order sizes depend on the individual underlying futures contract, details of which are provided below and start at 0.1 lots on each futures contract.

Order Types

Traders can execute a number of orders with FxPro, including:

Instant execution Buy limit Sell limit Buy stop
Sell stop Take profit Stop loss Good till cancelled

Swap/Rollover

If a trade is kept open overnight, then there is a swap/rollover cost calculated on that position. The cost is calculated as the overnight interest rate.

In the trading terminal ’swap’ is automatically converted into the balance currency. Operation is conducted at 23:59 server time. From Friday to Monday swap is charged once. From Wednesday to Thursday swap is charged at triple rate.

Futures Contract Details

Please note that there is a floating spread for trading in CFDs on futures which is not listed.
