Go Long or Short on Global Commodities and Indices
Futures contracts allow you to speculate on the future price of an asset without owning the underlying commodity or index. You can profit whether prices rise (long) or fall (short), using leverage to amplify your market exposure beyond your initial deposit.
Our perpetual futures have no expiry date — unlike traditional futures contracts which expire at a fixed date and require settlement or rollover. Perpetuals allow you to hold positions as long as your margin requirements are met, with swap fees applied to overnight positions as the cost of carry.
Futures are particularly useful for hedging existing positions, for accessing commodity markets without physical delivery considerations, and for gaining leveraged exposure to stock index performance without holding individual equities.

How Perpetual Futures Work
Perpetual futures are a variation of the futures contract that was pioneered in crypto markets and has since spread to other asset classes. Unlike traditional futures — which have a defined expiry and require settlement at maturity — perpetuals have no end date. They track the underlying asset's price indefinitely through a mechanism called the funding rate.
Funding Rate
The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders to keep the perpetual contract price anchored to the spot price. When the market is bullish (perpetual trades above spot), longs pay shorts. When bearish (perpetual below spot), shorts pay longs. The funding rate is typically applied every 8 hours and is shown transparently on each instrument page.
Mark Price vs Last Price
Liquidations are calculated using the mark price — a fair-value estimate based on the spot index price rather than the last traded price. This prevents temporary price spikes from triggering unnecessary liquidations. Your profit and loss display uses the mark price for unrealised P&L and the last price for realised P&L on close.
Liquidation
If the market moves against your position and your account equity falls to the maintenance margin level, your position is automatically liquidated to prevent your balance from going negative. You can see your liquidation price on every open position in your portfolio. Setting an appropriate stop loss is the most reliable way to control this risk.
Practical Uses of Futures
Futures can be used for directional speculation or as powerful hedging tools — understanding both use cases helps you deploy them intelligently in your trading strategy.
Speculation
The most common use of futures on our platform is directional speculation. If you believe gold will rise due to geopolitical risk or dollar weakness, you buy gold futures. If you believe oil will fall due to increased OPEC supply, you sell oil futures. Leverage amplifies both directions — size positions accordingly and always use stop losses.
Index futures like NAS100 and US30 allow you to trade the overall direction of equity markets without selecting individual stocks. If you have a macro view on the US economy — perhaps expecting a rally after positive earnings season data — index futures give you efficient, leveraged exposure.
Hedging
Futures are powerful hedging tools. If you hold a portfolio of US equities and are concerned about a short-term market decline, you can sell US30 or SPX futures to offset potential losses without selling your underlying equity positions. The futures position profits as equities fall, cushioning the decline in your portfolio.
Similarly, if you hold a significant Bitcoin spot position and expect near-term volatility, selling a proportionate BTC futures position creates a delta-neutral exposure — your portfolio neither profits nor loses from BTC price movement until you close the hedge. This is a common strategy during high-uncertainty periods.
