How do I roll over a futures contract on etoro?

Certain commodities on etoro are based on futures contracts, which means they may have an expiry date.

To maintain your exposure, you can open a position on the next available contract once the current one expires. It is important to monitor expiry dates to avoid unintended position closures.

For some futures contracts, the next contract becomes available before the current (front) contract expires. This allows you to manually roll over your position.

These contracts can be identified by the expiration month shown in the ticker symbol (for example, VIX.MAY26).

How do I manually roll over a position?

1. Close your existing position on the current contract before it expires.
2. Open a new position on the next available contract with a later expiry date.

For example, if you hold a position in VIX.MAY26 and the expiry date is approaching, you can close it and open a new position in VIX.JUN26.
