Futures Trading

StockHero supports the trading of futures contracts. This feature is only available through selected brokerages supported by StockHero (please refer to the list below).

To trade futures, users must be aware of the funding requirements, which are categorized into two types:

1. Intra-Day

2. Overnight

By default, the "Overnight" funding requirement is applied. This allows bots to hold futures positions over multiple days.

Typically, the overnight funding requirement is higher than the intra-day requirement. As a result, some traders may prefer intra-day trading. To enable a bot to use only the intra-day funding requirement, users must activate the "Auto-close position at end of trading day" option on the bot’s Trade Parameters page.

Please refer to the list below for the specific funding requirements of each supported brokerage.
