How to Spread Trade

There are a number of different ways in which you can Spread Trade. The type of trade you place can have a big impact on the potential risks involved, so you should be familiar with all your options before you start.

Rolling Trades

• Tight spreads

• Daily financing charges

• Dividends credited / debited

• Suitable for short term trading

Futures Contracts

• Quarterly and monthly expiry

• Wider spreads than Rolling Trades

• Dividends built into spreads

• Suitable for longer term trading

A Rolling Trade means that when the position is open at the end of the day, it is automatically rolled over onto the following day. The position is then opened the next working day at the same price. Financing is applied to positions held overnight, this is charged at LIBOR plus 2.5%. Find out more about Charges, Financing and Margins.
