Commodities FAQ
When do commodity CFD orders expire?
FOREX.com offers two types of CFDs: futures CFDs, which are dated for a specific contract month and expire, and cash CFDs, which are non-expiring and roll into the next contract month, with a basis adjustment (credit or debit in the difference between contract months). Note that only the futures CFDs are available on the MetaTrader 4 platform. You can check standard expiry definitions in the table below. This can also be found under the Market 360 tab for each market on the FOREX.com Web Trading platform, or under the Company tab in the Terminal window of MetaTrader 4.
When a CFD futures market expires, we close all open positions based on our most recent prices and all open orders are cancelled. To retain your open positions in a market, you must manually open a new position in the next contract month.
