Advanced Instruments for Sophisticated Algos
Futures CFDs on indices like VOLX and DXY provide a clean, direct way to execute high-level trading concepts that are difficult to implement with other instruments.
Trade Market Fear & Volatility
Deploy algorithms on the CBOE VIX Index (VOLX) to directly trade market sentiment. Build mean-reversion models on volatility spikes or use it as a real-time hedge against 'black swan' events in your equity portfolio.
Trade the Strength of the US Dollar
Use the ICE Dollar Index (DXY) as a pure macro instrument. Your algorithms can take a view on the US economy's health, reacting to Fed policy and key data without the noise of a single currency pair.
Hold Positions with Zero Swaps
A key advantage for algorithmic strategies. Hold positions in VOLX or DXY overnight without incurring any swap or interest charges, simplifying your P&L calculations and reducing long-term holding costs.
