"Excellent service. User-friendly fast trading platform." - JH
  • Futures are the preferred instrument of active traders. The futures markets are fully electronic, 100% centralized and totally transparent. There are no market makers. Professional and retail investors have identical information. Of all financial instruments futures have the lowest commissions and the tightest spreads. Futures are easy to understand and offer the active investor a large variety of underlying values.
  • Various types of data shown in the WHS FutureStation trading platform serve to illustrate the transparent and centralized nature of the futures markets. For example:
  • "Time and sales" … all executed orders as well as all changes in bid and ask price: Support and resistance … all order volume present in the order book at the corresponding prices: Market profile … the number of futures contracts traded split into trades at the bid and trades at the ask:

  • Short selling is allowed on all futures. Futures positions can be opened on margin. The active investor can thus determine his own leverage.
  • WH SelfInvest is technologically very advanced in futures trading. This makes life significantly easier for active investors. For example, a single order is sufficient to switch a long position into a short position because the order acceptance is based on the position size of the resulting short position and not on the order size. Another example, unique in futures trading, is the possibility to use conditional orders to open a position.
  • For all futures markets which do not accept stop orders on their servers, WH SelfInvest will keep the stop order on its server. As such stop orders never reside on the client's PC, unless he wishes this to be the case.
