CFD (Contract For Difference) OR Futures?<\/h3>\n

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker<\/p>\n

Futures Market structure provides a more level playing field for the retail trader than do the Forex and CFD markets. Last week I focused on the differences between Forex and Futures and left a little on the table as it relates to CFD\u2019s, what they are and more importantly what they are not. But again, the focus of last weeks article was not to discuss the differences as much as driving home the point that the futures market gives you, the retail trader, a better shake.\u00a0It\u2019s a fairer market and offers better opportunities for success, day in and day out.<\/p>\n

First, the need to stress to you that futures markets, no matter what hemisphere they are traded in are regulated, CFD\u2019s are not. In Fact, CFD\u2019s are banned in the U.S. and Brazil..<\/p>\n

Similarities between CFD\u2019s and Futures:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Leveraged products- you simply need to place a good faith deposit or Margin to speculate on a position.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Multiple markets to trade,\u00a0from Grains, to Softs, Equity indices to Debt instruments and Metals to Energies.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Both used as hedges.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Derivative\u2019s Both derive their value from underlying instruments.<\/p>\n

Differences between CFD\u2019s and Futures<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Futures are regulated in the U.S. by both the CFTC and the NFA while CFD\u2019S are not. This lack of oversight of the CFD industry creates transparency issues.\u00a0\u00a0Regulated markets are far more transparent giving the trader of Futures an edge over CFD\u2019s.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Although futures contracts have expiration dates and CFD\u2019s do not, the CFD broker will charge you a carrying charge to hold the position overnight, much like Forex operates.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Futures contracts are more liquid than CFD\u2019s. The Futures contract is a publicly traded entity where all market participants, Hedger\u2019s Institutions, Banks, retail investors are involved in the price discovery process.\u00a0CFD\u2019s markets are literally bookmakers. You trade against the broker and the broker throws of his\/her risk in the regulated futures markets. This results in very wide spreads between the bid and the offer and really penalizes the trader.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Futures offer standardized contract sizes, and often times offering mini sized and micro sized contracts, much like the CFD market does, but again with a transparent market.<\/p>\n

if you are looking for transparency and a more level playing field\u00a0and scratched your head or pounded your fist on the desk because of the problems you may have experienced trading Forex or CFD\u2019s\u00a0you have nothing to lose, give us a call or send us an email and will work with you to get your account open and trading in a much fairer environment.<\/p>\n

As always, plan your trade and trade your plan.\u00a0Please contact your broker or Cannon Trading with any questions.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.\u00a0 You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.<\/p>\n
