Perfect for long-term traders, the Gold Index runs with no expiry date and fixed costs, giving you more stability and fewer surprises.
How does the Gold Index work?
The Gold Index tracks Gold Futures but without an expiry date – making it the equivalent of a perpetual future. That means continuous exposure, fixed costs and a setup built for long-term strategies and smart hedging.
Hold your positions indefinitely with no contract expiries.
Fixed spreads and swaps mean no surprises.
Hedge your investments effectively in a stable trading environment.
Gold Index is an innovative trading product from Alpari that tracks Gold Futures prices, but with no expiry date. Unlike traditional futures contracts, you can hold your positions indefinitely, with fixed spreads and swaps for predictable trading costs.
Traditional Gold Futures have expiry dates, meaning you need to roll over contracts and often face unpredictable fees. Gold Index contracts have no expiry, so you can hold your position for as long as you like. Plus, fixed costs give you more stability and control over your long-term trading strategy.
While both Gold Index and Spot Metal CFDs let you trade Gold without owning the physical asset, Gold Index is designed for longer-term strategies. Spot Metal CFDs track the spot market price and have variable spreads and swaps, meaning trading costs can change with market volatility. Alpari’s Gold Index, on the other hand, tracks Gold Futures prices, and offers fixed spreads and swaps, giving you more stability and less cost predictability and risk.
With no expiry date, it combines the flexibility of spot CFDs with the added benefit of a stable, fixed-cost trading environment, which is ideal for holding positions over extended periods or hedging effectively.
