1. We offer futures CFDs on a wide range of commodities as well as spot contracts on gold and silver. Futures CFDs expire on specific future dates and are cash-settled as detailed in the ‘Expiry details’ tab. Futures CFDs can be rolled over from one contract to the next at your request.
2. All contracts expire at specified future dates and are cash settled; we quote you our own bid/offer spread based on the underlying oil or gas price or commodity price.
3. All the instruments described on this site are Contracts For Difference (CFDs). Our contracts give you exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument prices but they are cash settled and cannot result in the delivery of any underlying instrument.
4. We offer mini versions of all energy futures contracts at 50% (for energy) of the main contract size and margin requirement (25% for Natural Gas); other commodities futures contracts at 20% or 50% of the main contract size and margin; Future Metals contracts at 20% of the main contract size and margin requirement (the exceptions are Gold, where the mini contract is 33% of the main contract size and margin requirement, and Copper (High Grade), where we offer US$1 contracts)
5. When you trade in a currency other than your base currency, margin requirements and any profit or loss will be booked to your account in that currency. As a default, we will automatically convert any profit or loss you realise on closing a position to your base currency, including a charge of no more than 0.5% of the current spot rate. You may change this default to a daily conversion any time via our online dealing platform. For daily conversions, our system will convert the currency automatically. However, you may experience currency fluctuations on your account prior to the conversion.
6. Please note that tiered margining applies; this means that higher margins may be required for large positions. You can find the applicable tiered margins from the Get Info dropdown section within each market in the trading platform. See our charges and tiered margining page for more details.
7. The last dealing day shown in the tables may not always coincide with the last dealing day on the relevant exchange.
8. Spreads are subject to variation, especially in volatile market conditions. Our dealing spreads may change to reflect the available liquidity during different times of day. Our normal spread is shown in the table.
9. Large trades may be subject to wider spreads which is known as tiered pricing. Learn more here.
10. Please note that tiered pricing is only available on the IG platform.
11. For limited-risk trades a limited-risk premium is charged if your guaranteed stop is triggered. The potential premium is displayed on the deal ticket, and will form part of your margin when you attach the stop.
12. Minimum transaction sizes usually start from one contract. Please refer to the 'Get Info' section within our trading platform to find the minimum transaction size for each market. Subject to this minimum size, transactions may be in fractions of a contract.
13. The futures contract against which a futures metal is settled is designated in the name of the futures metal contract (e.g. DEC15).
14. Weekend markets are available from 4pm Saturday to 6.40am Monday (SGT) for commodities. During UK daylight savings time (BST), this will be 3pm Saturday to 5.40am Monday (SGT).
15. Weekend positions are automatically rolled into weekday trading at the same price level they were closed. Any attached stops or limits will also be carried over at their original levels.
16. Only stops and limits on a weekend position can be triggered over the weekend. All existing stops and limits on the weekday position can't be triggered on a weekend.
17. Your weekend positions will be netted off against any existing weekday positions if it remains open past the Weekend Market close. This will only apply in scenarios where both your weekday and weekend positions do not have any stops/limits attached. If you have hedged an existing weekday position with a weekend trade that has stop or limit attached to the weekend position, the trade will be force opened and rolled into a weekday position with the same stop or limit orders attached. As a result, you may hold both long and short positions when the weekday market resumes.
18. There are no rollover fees charged when weekend positions are rolled into weekday position., The weekend position will be settled basis the closing mid-price at the close of the weekend market. The equivalent weekday position in the same market will be opened at the same level it was closed at.
19. In addition, we do not charge overnight funding on weekend positions.
20. Our quotations reflect our own view of the prospects for each market. This could include taking a reference price from the last closing price of the market, analysing specific market or geographic news that may affect the equity index market we are pricing and movements in related or relevant underlying markets. Furthermore, orders placed by other clients may affect our quotations. There may also be nothing against which to measure our quotations at these times.
21. We do not offer the use of guaranteed stops on weekend positions.
