What Is a Futures Contract at Evest?

Futures trading at Evest is conducted through Contracts for Difference (CFDs). These contracts allow you to speculate on the price movements of futures contracts without the physical delivery of the underlying asset. You can potentially profit from both rising and falling prices.

What Is Margin in Futures Trading?

Margin is an amount of money deposited to open a trade and control a contract with a larger value. It is not considered a down payment, but rather a form of collateral to ensure that the trader can cover potential losses. There are two types of margin:

Initial margin, which is the amount required to open the trade.
Maintenance margin, which is the minimum amount required to keep the trade open.

What Is Leverage?

Leverage allows you to control a large trade using a relatively small amount of capital. It can amplify profits, but it also increases the level of risk.

What Happens If Margin Requirements Are Not Met?

You may be required to increase the available funds in your account to protect your account. If this is not done, trades may be closed automatically to reduce risk. Positions are closed automatically starting with the largest losing position in order to help reduce risk.

What Is the Expiry Date?

The expiry date is the date on which the contract ends. If the position is not closed before this date, it will be closed automatically at the last price displayed on the platform immediately before the expiry date and time.

Can Physical Delivery Be Avoided?

Yes. Since trading at Evest is conducted through Contracts for Difference (CFDs), there is no physical delivery of the underlying asset under any circumstances. Profits or losses are based only on price differences.

Important Notes

Futures trading requires a good understanding of margin and leverage. Profits may be achieved from both rising and falling prices. Risk management is an essential element in this type of trading. Futures trading involves a high level of risk due to the use of leverage and may result in the loss of part of the capital. Make sure you fully understand the product before you start trading.
