What are Futures CFDs?
Key Differences CFDs vs Futures
When you trade futures CFDs, you are not buying or owning the underlying asset. Instead, you are trading a derivative that allows you to speculate on price movements without direct ownership. This flexibility makes futures CFDs a powerful tool in the financial market, giving traders the ability to go long or short with leveraged positions.
Buy or Sell Using Leverage
Futures CFDs offer traders the advantage of leverage, allowing them to control a larger position size with a smaller initial balance. At ACY, you can trade many products up to 500 to 1 leverage while soft commodities like Cocoa, Sugar and Orange Juice are at 100 to 1 leverage. While leverage can amplify profits, it also magnifies potential losses.
Trade CFD Futures Long or Short
Take a position long or short across your preferred futures CFDs with ACY as your broker. This means you can take advantage of price movements on Brent, Gold, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, Coffee, Cotton or EURUSD Futures whether the markets are going up or down.
No Physical Ownership
Unlike traditional futures contracts, where physical delivery of the asset may be required, futures CFDs do not involve the actual exchange of assets. Instead, they settle in cash, with profits or losses credited or debited to the trader's account.
