Risk comes first

CFDs use leverage and can cause substantial losses. Margin is collateral, not the maximum amount that can be lost.

EXNESS / PRODUCT GUIDE

CFD vs Futures: Trading Comparison in Namibia

Exness offers OTC CFDs, not exchange-cleared futures. Both can provide price exposure, but their counterparties, lifecycle, sizing and costs differ. A Namibia user must also verify whether each legal product and funding route is actually available.

Normalize risk

Compare nominal exposure, cash loss to stop, margin stress, all costs and lifecycle. A smaller margin or no expiry does not make a product safer.

Selection workflow

  1. Define objective/holding period.
  2. Verify Namibia legal/account access.
  3. Compare minimum size.
  4. Model roll/holding costs.
  5. Stress gaps/margin.
  6. Test execution and funding.

Price-reference trap

A CFD price may reference a futures or cash market, but the customer still holds a CFD. The legal contract controls.

Payment difference

Broker funding currency and futures-broker collateral routes can differ. Compare conversion, ownership verification and withdrawal evidence rather than price charts only.
