Leverage can magnify both your profits and losses as they’ll be based on the full exposure of the trade, not just the margin required to open it. This means losses as well as profits could far outweigh your margin, so always ensure you’re trading within your means.

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.

Features 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.*

CFDs are leveraged trades, meaning you’ll open a position with a small percentage of the value of the trade to gain exposure to a larger position, off which profits or losses will be calculated. This means any loss or profit could substantially outweigh your deposit.

How do I trade cash markets?

  1. Open a spot (cash) trading account with us
  2. Find an opportunity
  3. Take your first position
  4. Monitor and close your trade

* Short-selling is a strategy which poses inherent risk of loss. With leveraged trades, you could lose far more than your initial deposit when shorting unsuccessfully.
