Futures CFDs — Trade the Markets of Tomorrow, Today

FXTM now offers a smarter way to access global futures markets. With our newly launched Futures CFDs, you can take positions on major indices, commodities, and more — without the complexities of standard futures contracts.

Whether you’re aiming to diversify your portfolio, hedge against volatility, or take advantage of short-term price movements, Futures CFDs provide flexibility and control today’s traders’ demand.

What Are Futures CFDs?

Futures CFDs are derivative instruments that track the price of standardised futures contracts. They allow you to speculate on future price movements of an underlying asset — such as oil, gold, or a major stock index — without taking physical delivery or engaging in exchange-based futures trading.

This means you benefit from the same market exposure, but with fewer barriers to entry, lower costs, and more adaptable trade sizing.

Why Choose Futures CFDs Over Traditional Futures?

No Contract Rollover or Delivery

Trade without worrying about expiry dates or settlement logistics. Simply open and close positions at your discretion.

Cost-efficient Exposure

Futures CFDs typically require a lower initial outlay compared to traditional contracts, making them accessible for more traders.

Two-way Opportunity

Whether markets are rising or falling, Futures CFDs allow you to take long or short positions, depending on your view.

Swap-free Structure

Because Futures CFDs are based on expiry pricing rather than spot rates, overnight positions do not incur swap charges — a key advantage for longer-term strategies.

Flexible Trade Sizes

Unlike full-sized futures contracts, you can tailor your exposure with CFDs, managing risk in line with your strategy.

Markets Available

With FXTM, you can trade Futures CFDs across a wide range of global markets, including:

• Forex – major and minor currency futures
• Commodities – such as gold, oil, and natural gas
• Stock indices – including the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and DAX
• Cryptocurrencies – including Bitcoin and Ethereum futures

How Does It Work?

Futures CFDs mirror real futures prices, so you benefit from:

• Transparent pricing
• Predictable expiry schedules
• No swap charges for holding overnight

For example, if gold futures are rising and you believe the trend will continue, you can go long on a Gold Futures CFD. If you think oil will drop, you can short Oil Futures CFDs — and profit from downside moves.
