Derivatives Programme for Investors

This initiative is supported by the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF)

Crude Palm Oil Futures (FCPO) trading allows you as a trader and investor to diversify your investment portfolio into the derivatives market. There are a few strategies that a trader could apply in FCPO trading. One of the strategies is called spread trading where a trader buys one futures contract and sells another contract simultaneously. Spread trading is popular because it is less risky when compared to outright futures trading. And since it is less risky, spread trading tends to have lower margin requirements.

Discover all about spread trading with FCPO in this webinar by understanding the various types of spread trading and the features that make spread trading a valuable strategy to FCPO traders.
