The roll calendar
A futures-based CFD tracks the front contract, and the front expires. Energy rolls every month, grains and softs walk their delivery cycles, and the spot metals never roll at all.

- Energy rolls every month. The front contract expires and pricing steps to the next listing.
- Grains and softs follow their delivery cycles: four or five rolls a year, set by the underlying listing.
- At a roll, the price steps by the front-to-next gap (the contango or backwardation drawn on the curve bench above) and the ticket is adjusted so the step itself is not profit or loss.

The assay
What one contract actually is
Commodities are the only market where every instrument quotes in its own physical unit: troy ounces, barrels, MMBtu, bushels, tonnes. Each assay card states the unit behind the quote, the exchange contract it prices from, the tick that moves it, and the venue that sets the world price.

Commodities primer·6 short cards
What a futures roll is
Futures contracts expire on a schedule. Holding a position means rolling from the front month to the next; the broker price-adjusts so the chart stays continuous. The roll calendar above maps each instrument's next window.
Contango vs backwardation
Contango: far months trade above spot, so long rollers pay each cycle. Backwardation: far months trade below spot, so long rollers receive. Storage costs and yields drive the shape. Bend it yourself in the workshop below.
Weekend gold
Spot metals trade Sun 22:05 UTC to Fri 21:00 UTC in US summer time, an hour later in winter. A week that closes below support can gap on the Monday open. Weekend financing still accrues; the carry ledger below prices the triple-swap night.
Storage and quality
Commodities have grade and delivery rules built into the contract. WTI and Brent are two delivery points with different sulphur and gravity specs, not two names for one oil. Each assay card above states the exact contract behind the quote.
Supply shocks
Weather, geopolitics, and inventory reports move commodity prices in step changes rather than drift. Tight stops are easier to take out than to keep.
Quanto vs non-quanto
Priced in USD, commodities add a dollar leg to any non-USD account. A non-quanto CFD passes the FX move through to your P&L; a quanto CFD strips it out for a small premium.
The curve workshop
Bend the curve yourself
Every forward curve is one tug-of-war. Financing and storage push the far months up; scarcity (how badly the market wants the physical in hand today) pulls them down. Pick an instrument and turn the one dial the market actually moves.
Indexed forward strip · front = 100
Contango+0.32%/moTypical shapeInstrument
Vault metal. Storage is trivial and nobody is desperate for bars in hand, so financing wins. Gold almost never leaves contango.
Convenience yield: the premium the market pays to hold the physical now instead of a promise of it later.
Slope ≈ financing + storage − scarcity

Long holder
Rolling a long up this curve means re-buying a dearer month every roll, a drag of about 0.32% per month before any price move.
Short holder
A short mirrors it: every roll re-sells the dearer month, about 0.32% per month of tailwind before any price move.
Hold that shape through six monthly rolls and the roll cost alone compounds to roughly 1.9% against a long. The curve, not the headline price, did that.
Contango. The curve banks up: rolling longs pay, rolling shorts earn.
FAQ·6 questions
How much leverage do commodities get?
Retail caps depend on the instrument: gold is commonly 1:20, other commodities 1:10. The platform shows your available leverage per instrument before you trade.
When do commodities trade?
Spot metals quote nearly 24 hours on weekdays with a short daily break. Energy and agricultural contracts follow their exchange calendars; exact hours are listed on each instrument page.
How does overnight financing work on metals?
Spot gold and silver carry a daily swap that reflects the interest-rate and lease-rate differential, typically a small debit for longs. It can flip sign when rates move, and one triple-swap night each week books the weekend in advance.
What does one lot of gold represent?
One standard lot of XAU/USD is 100 troy ounces, so a $12 move per ounce is $1,200 per lot. Fractional lots let you size far smaller; the calculators do the math for your account.
Do commodity CFDs expire?
Spot metals don't: XAU/USD and XAG/USD carry day to day with no contract to outgrow. Energy and agricultural CFDs track futures that do expire. At each roll the book re-references to the next contract and the price steps by the front-to-next gap, with an adjustment so the roll itself is not profit or loss. Each instrument's next window is plotted on the roll calendar higher up the page.
Does contango cost me money?
Held through a roll, yes: a long re-buys a dearer month each cycle (a drag that accrues before any price move) while a short earns the mirror of it. Backwardation flips both signs. The curve workshop above lets you bend the shape yourself and see what six rolls cost either way.
Holding costs
The carry ledger
Close a commodity CFD intraday and you pay the spread once. Hold it overnight and a second flow starts: financing on the notional you carry. Both are arithmetic, not mystery. Here they are, itemised for gold, the metal on the bench above.
The financing leg
Every commodity in this catalogue is quoted in US dollars, so both directions fund off one benchmark: SOFR. Long positions pay SOFR plus our 2.5% annual markup; short positions receive SOFR minus the markup, which can flip negative when rates are low.
Notional × (SOFR ± markup) ÷ 360
