Why do early rollovers happen?
As a futures contract approaches expiration, trading volume may decline, leading to liquidity issues. This can result in wider spreads and less favourable pricing, making it harder to enter or exit positions at fair market rates. If liquidity drops too low, trading in the contract may be prematurely suspended, meaning no new prices are quoted, and the contract becomes untradeable.
What are the benefits of early rollovers?
To prevent positions from becoming stuck due to low liquidity, the platform may roll over open positions to the next available futures contract earlier than expected. A stuck order occurs when there are no available counterparties to complete a trade, leaving the order open indefinitely without execution. By rolling over positions early, traders can continue trading without disruption.
