Contract specification for CFD for futures

CFD for futures (Contracts For Difference - CFD) - is an agreement closed for difference between the price of an underlying contract at different points in time.

Buying CFD, you are not buying the underlying contract, and therefore do not become a holder of the instrument. Such contracts are non-deliverable, when trading them profit arises from price difference. This is a speculative mechanism to trade stocks, indexes, futures and commodities without actual delivery of the underlying asset.

CFD for futures is a marginal product, allowing an investor to gain higher profit. Such contracts gain ever-greater popularity in the world practice, as they allow both to absorb speculative profit and hedge an investment portfolio if it makes losses at the times of market decline.

Comission: $5.
