Settlement

Cash settled, rolled cleanly, logged separately

Everything below exists so a commodity position never turns into a logistics problem.

  1. 01

    Cash settled, always

    Every contract is cash settled in your account currency. No warehouse receipts, no delivery notices, no barrels.

  2. 02

    Roll published three days out

    We post the roll date, the outgoing and incoming contract and the price adjustment before it happens.

  3. 03

    Adjustment shown as its own line

    Roll adjustments appear separately in the ledger so your realised P&L stays clean.

  4. 04

    Position transfer, not liquidation

    Open positions transfer to the next contract automatically unless you ask us to close them at the roll.

Questions

Commodities, answered plainly

Will I ever have to take delivery?

No. Every commodity contract we offer is cash settled in your account currency, and positions roll rather than expire into delivery.

How is the roll adjustment calculated?

The adjustment equals the price difference between the outgoing and incoming contract at the roll snapshot, credited or debited as a separate ledger line.

Can I hold gold as an investment rather than a trade?

Yes. Spot metal positions carry no expiry, and financing on unleveraged spot metal is zero.

Are agricultural contracts available all year?

They follow the underlying contract calendar. Between quarterly contracts, the next liquid month is quoted with a wider band.
