Learn about online futures trading
Futures CFDs are derivative contracts made on underlying assets or financial products, such as gold, currencies or indices. Online futures trading refers to entering into a futures CFD contract. CFD stands for ‘Contract for Difference’, and a CFD commits you and your broker to exchange the difference in the price of an underlying asset between the opening and closing of your CFD position. CFD futures trading allows you to use leverage to gain bigger exposure to the market while not directly owning the underlying asset.

Frequently asked questions
What is futures trading through CFDs?
Trading futures via Contracts for Difference (CFDs) is a way to speculate on the price movements of future contracts or hedge against market volatility, without owning the underlying asset. This includes assets such as commodities, indices and stocks (for example, Nasdaq and Dow Jones futures) and offers the added advantage of leverage.
How can I start trading futures through CFDs?
You can start by opening a trading account online with Equiti, then selecting the futures contracts you wish to trade and deciding whether to open a buy or sell position.

What is a stop-loss order?
A stop-loss order is a commonly used tool designed to protect your investment and limit potential losses, especially when market prices move against your position.
Why should I use a stop-loss order?
A stop-loss order tells your broker to automatically close a trade once the price reaches a specified level, helping protect against excessive losses and manage risk in volatile or fast-moving markets. While it reduces the need for constant monitoring, it’s not guaranteed protection - sharp price movements during market closures or major announcements can still impact your position.
