Is it possible to roll a position in futures that have end date?


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a position on US500 (futures) and I would like to keep it open if possible. However, it says that the contract ends on the 17th of March. What happens to that position beyond that date if not closed by me? Does it roll automatically into the next date or does it close and I have to manually open the next future date?

Thank you !!!

Hi @B_S857

Thank you for reaching out. 

You can choose to enable automatic rollovers to be opened automatically at expiry. 

How to set up the instructions?
You can set up automatic rollover instructions by logging in to your My IG dashboard
Go to the ‘settings’ tab, select ‘rollovers’ and then follow the instructions
Once rollovers have been set up on your account, you’ll receive a confirmation email
Automatic rollover.

    • Here we go!!! Gold making record highs 🚀🚀🚀 The level to watch going forward is 2133 👀, which is the weekly cyclical resistance. We need a close (preferably 1%) above this level at the end of the week before moving any higher. High volatility is to be expected throughout December. 🤑

Some stocks will make new highs, and some won’t, but they will still have the same wave count and I will explain this in today’s video. That said there are stocks like Tesla that are different, however they will move the same on an intraday basis, just with different Elliott wave counts.

    • Thanks. A really interesting video and some interesting statistics and analysis. I haven't the time to go back and analyse whether a strong November increases the chance of there not being a Santa rally, although one of the slides highlights that the negative Santa Rally years were tied with poor November returns for the market such as 2000, 2008 etc which seems a contradiction.  Would I short and back against it happening? When it occurs in over 80% of years... absolutely not.  The Santa Rally – Christmas Growth in the Stock Market. (moneysandi.com)
