Introduction:
In the world of trading, rollover is a term that you'll likely come across, especially when trading futures or other derivative contracts. Rollover refers to the process of closing a position in an expiring contract and opening a new one with a later expiration date. In this article, we will discuss what rollover is, how it works, and the way it impacts your positions when trading with ITCS Trade.
What is Rollover?
Rollover occurs when a trading position in a futures or other derivative contract reaches its expiration date. Instead of letting the position expire and potentially incurring a loss, traders can choose to "roll over" the position to a new contract with a later expiration date. This allows traders to maintain their exposure to the underlying asset without having to close the position and reopen it in a new contract.
How ITCS Trade Handles Rollover:
At ITCS Trade, we understand the importance of a seamless rollover process for our clients. We automatically adjust the position that has been rolled over to a new contract, ensuring that you neither lose nor earn money in the rollover process. This automatic adjustment takes place based on the difference in the prices of the expiring and new contracts.

Conclusion:
Rollover is an essential aspect of trading futures and other derivative contracts, as it allows traders to maintain their exposure to the underlying asset without having to close and reopen positions.
