So, you can trade a Gold CFD for example, which mirrors the Gold futures market (called a futures cfd) or you can trade a Gold CFD that mirrors the spot Gold market (called a cash cfd). Gold (and some other markets) is traded as both a spot market and futures market and with MetaTrader you can trade a cash CFD which is based on the spot market, over the counter the market. Commodities and Indices can be offered on a spot market or a futures market but where you want to trade spot they turn into a cash CFD and where you want to trade futures it’s a futures CFD.
