eToro has expanded its services in Spain by introducing futures trading for new users. This move provides them with more opportunities to diversify their investment strategies and access a broader range of financial products. Futures trading allows users to plan their investments with contracts that have defined expiry dates, offering more structure to their trading activities.
Futures Trading in Spain with Diverse Market Options
The available futures contracts on eToro include several well-known products, such as the Micro WTI $OIL Future, $NSDQ100, $GOLD, NATGAS, $SPX500, and DJ30. These contracts allow traders to tap into various markets, including commodities, indices, and energy sectors.
It is important to highlight that futures instruments carry a significant risk of losing money. As eToro has stated:
“Futures are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how futures work, and whether you can afford to lose more than your original investment.”
eToro Futures Contracts Offer Diversification
According to eToro, Futures trading offers several advantages. It enables diversification, giving users access to markets they might not have engaged with otherwise. Additionally, it allows for leverage, where users can amplify their exposure with relatively smaller investments.
The defined expiry dates of the contracts provide flexibility in planning trades. According to eToro, it ensures transparency by facilitating trades directly through regulated exchanges such as CME and ICE.
