FAQs about CFD futures trading in Singapore

What are the risks of CFD futures trading?

  • Leverage can magnify losses — your losses can exceed your margin deposit if positions move against you.

  • High market volatility — prices can move rapidly, especially during major news events.

  • Margin calls and auto-closeouts — IG may automatically close your positions if your account falls below margin requirements.

  • No investor compensation schemes — futures CFDs don’t qualify for statutory investor protections.

How much do I need to start trading?

  • No minimum deposit to open an IG account.
  • Margin requirements start from 5% for major indices and 20% for commodities.
  • Example: With 5% margin, you can control a $10,000 FTSE 100 position with just $500.
  • Tip: Many traders start with at least $1,000 to apply proper risk management.
  • Try it first: Open a free demo account with virtual funds to practise risk-free.

What order types can I use with futures CFDs?

  • Limit order — set a target price to enter or exit the market.
  • Stop-loss — automatically close your position to limit potential losses.
  • Guaranteed stop-loss — ensures your stop is executed at your chosen price, even during volatility (a small premium applies).
  • Trailing stop — locks in profits by adjusting your stop level as the market moves in your favour.
