There are two main reasons why CFD instrument quotes may differ from other data sources:
1. The contract in question has expired
On the exchange, there are several futures contracts available for trading, and you are trading only one of them. Each contract has its own expiration date, and once it expires, we replace the previous contract with the next one.
The prices of these two contracts are usually different, which can cause a short-term price difference when comparing quotes with other data sources.
If you compare our quotes with the corresponding exchange contract quotes, you will see that they match. Therefore, the quotes we provide are actual market quotes.
2. Quotes are based on different contracts or exchanges
Some assets or instruments are quoted on multiple exchanges. For example, the Nikkei 225 is quoted both on the CME Group and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, with possible differences in quotes and conditions between them.
Additionally, even on the same exchange, several contracts based on the same underlying asset can be traded simultaneously, but with different expiration dates and prices.
