Contract Roll Over

Futures Contracts Roll Schedule

None of Today Markets products, CFD or otherwise, “expire” or require the client to provide rollover instructions. The below information indicates when the “near-by” price referenced by the CFD will change. The roll date page is informational and not a guarantee; the prices will roll when our data provider rolls the contracts to the following forward contract month.

Note that rolls in the reference price month will not affect your P&L – any necessary adjustments will be made to compensate for changes in price due to a roll.

 

Example:

 

The Crude Oil market rolls from $79.15 to $80.25; this denotes an upward roll of $1.10 (110 pips). In this case, a long position would be charged and a short position would be paid the equivalent amount per lot. For standard sized contracts, that would equate to $1,100. and for mini sized contracts $110. per lot.

 

In a case where the market rolls down, the opposite actions would be taken: a short position would be charged and a long position would be paid.
