CFD futures are financial derivatives that enable traders to speculate on the price movements of futures contracts, or to hedge against potential price fluctuations in assets like commodities, indices, or other financial products, without the need to own the underlying asset. When trading futures contracts, you agree to buy or sell an asset at a set price at a future date, regardless of its current market price.
Futures trading in commodities, for example, allows traders to hedge against external factors such as weather, which can influence crop prices. A farmer can lock in prices for crops like coffee in advance to protect against market drops at harvest, while buyers can secure prices if they expect market prices to rise when crops are delivered.
In online futures trading, popular indices like Nasdaq and Dow Jones are also traded as CFD futures, enabling traders to speculate on these major benchmarks with leverage. CFD futures allow for greater exposure through leverage, enabling traders to control larger positions with smaller investments. To start trading CFD futures, open an account with a broker offering access to global markets.
To open a live account, submit your contact details, personal information (with proof of address), a recent bank statement, and information about your trading experience.

A stop loss order is a tool that helps limit potential losses by automatically closing a position when the price of the underlying futures contract moves unfavorably. Setting a stop loss order means the broker will close your position once the price reaches your specified limit. This minimizes the need for constant monitoring and helps protect against significant losses, especially in volatile markets.
However, it's important to note that a stop loss order doesn't guarantee execution at the set price, as market gaps, economic data releases, or market closures may impact the execution price.
