How does the rollover process work?
When a futures contract reaches its expiry date, open positions and pending orders are automatically closed and reopened under the next contract. This transition happens seamlessly to keep trades active. Since the price of the new contract may differ due to supply, demand, or seasonal factors, an adjustment may be applied to align the new contract’s value with the previous one.
What is the impact on trading costs?
The rollover process does not add extra spread costs, but market fluctuations can cause price gaps between the expiring and new contract prices. Traders are usually notified in advance, and the exact timing of the rollover depends on the exchange schedule for the specific asset.
Why does rollover matter?
Rollovers allow traders to maintain positions beyond contract expiry, reducing market disruptions and ensuring continuous liquidity. Understanding this process helps traders manage their futures CFD positions effectively without being affected by contract expirations
