Futures Contracts Roll Schedule

None of GCI's products, CFD or otherwise, "expire" or require the client to provide rollover instructions.  The below information indicates when the "near-by" price referenced by the CFD will change. The roll date page is informational and not a guarantee; the prices will roll when our data provider rolls the contracts to the following forward contract month.

Note that rolls in the reference price month will not affect your P&L - any necessary adjustments will be made to compensate for changes in price due to a roll.

Example:
The Crude Oil market rolls from $79.15 to $80.25; this denotes an upward roll of $1.10 (110 pips). In this case, a long position would be charged and a short position would be paid the equivalent amount per lot. In Standard accounts, that would equate to $1,100. and in mini accounts $110. per lot.

In a case where the market rolls down, the opposite actions would be taken: a short position would be charged and a long position would be paid.
