Read the
contract mechanics.

Settlement, calendar and product form belong in the instrument specification. Open a note to examine the relevant convention.

01

Know what the symbol represents.

A spot-metal reference and a CFD on an energy future have different conventions. Confirm quotation currency, contract size, settlement basis and any expiry before enabling an instrument.

02

Rollover belongs in the brief.

For futures-referenced instruments, review the underlying contract month and the agreed rollover or expiry treatment. Changes between contract months can affect the reference price.

03

Match the operating window.

Trading sessions and maintenance breaks vary by instrument and underlying venue. Review holiday schedules and escalation contacts with the desk; coverage is subject to counterparty approval and agreed terms.
