Perpetual CFDs: a complete guide
Perpetual CFDs: a complete guide

A perpetual (perp) CFD is a contract for difference that tracks a perpetual futures market — one designed to run with no expiry date. Like any CFD, it offers leveraged exposure to price movements, long or short, without owning the underlying asset, so both potential profits and potential losses are magnified and losses can occur rapidly. With no settlement date, a position can be held for as long as margin supports it, and these markets can be traded 24/7. Rather than variable funding, Pepperstone applies a single weekly swap rate set in advance. Read the full guide to understand how perpetual CFDs work.
