Where are the rolling and futures share prices please?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Financial spread betting and have opened a demo account with yourselves to practice spread betting shares 

However, I've searched around the menus but am unable to locate the rolling and future prices for stocks. 

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction as to how to find these please? Apologies if it's obvious :)

Many thanks

Hi @Hampshire321

Thanks for reaching out, we have a cash and forward price on shares. You can find the different prices by clicking on cash or forward next to the name of the share as illustrated in the following screenshot:

On the app you should see 4 prices when you search for a share. The DFB would be the cash price, the rest would be the dated forwards. 

All the best

Hi Anda,

Thanks for the info and such a quick reply 🙂

Could I ask another question please, this time regarding leverage?

On the demo account there doesn't seem to be the option to buy or sell at a leveraged amount. Is this the same with the live account, or do you offer incremental leverage of 2, 5 10 times bid/offer etc?

Thanks

Hi @Hampshire321

Thanks for the question, 

Our leverage is fixed depending on the instrument and whether you are a retail or professional client. We show our margin factor in the market info section of the platform. You can calculate leverage by dividing 100 by the margin/deposit factor. e.g on shares deposit factor is 20% therefore 100/20 would give 5:1 leverage on retail accounts. 

All the best

Hi Anda, thanks for the info. much appreciated. Hopefully it's ok to ask another question please?

I'm watching your excellent training videos - the one I'm watching now is the Stop Loss Strategies Explained video. It is 10 years old however and the CMC charts aren't in the same layout as today.

The issue I'm having is identifying the volatility of shares from the chart

For example below I'm looking at 888 holdings but I cant see a volatility option on the screen?

Hope you can advise please? And again, apologies if it's obvious :)

Thanks

Hi, apologies for another question but i'm looking to join up higher highs and higher lows etc on my chart, and the only way i can find to do this is by connecting them with individual trend lines. I then need to go into the settings of each trend line and turn off the 'extend right' function every time.

I've searched everywhere but cant seem to find a tool that will allow me to just click on the HHs and LLs etc to give me a graphic indication of a trend (such as the below) 

Does one exist?

Again, hope this isn't an ignorant question :)

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
