Because there is no set expiration date, the majority of CFD trades have an infinite duration. Only when a trade is reversed is it considered closed. As a result, the only way to close a buy trade on 100 silver CFDs is to sell them.

If traders decide to keep their daily CFD trade open after the cut-off time, they will be charged an overnight funding fee (often 10 p.m. UK time, though this might change for overseas markets). Capital.com only charges overnight fees on the leveraged value of the trade, not the total amount.

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) typically don't have a fixed length. Instead, they are based on the underlying asset's price movement within a specified timeframe. Traders can hold CFD positions for as short as a few minutes or as long as several months, depending on their trading strategy and market conditions. Some brokers may impose expiration dates or renewal terms on CFD contracts, but the duration is flexible. CFDs offer the advantage of trading on both rising and falling markets without owning the underlying asset, making them popular for short-term trading and speculation across various financial markets.

The contract length of Contracts for Difference (CFDs) is generally flexible because CFDs don’t have a fixed expiry date like futures or options. Instead, a CFD position remains open until the trader decides to close it. This flexibility allows traders to hold positions for as long or as short a time as they wish, depending on their strategy and market conditions. However, holding a CFD overnight usually incurs a financing cost, known as a swap or rollover fee. These charges can add up if a position is held for an extended period. Some brokers may also offer CFDs with set expiry dates, especially for certain commodities or indices, but most CFDs operate on an open-ended basis.
