Cocoa Cash CFD trades Monday 08:45 UTC to Friday 17:30 UTC. There is a daily break from 17:30 UTC to 08:45 UTC. Trading is not available on weekends.
At Afterprime, Cocoa Cash CFD is available as a CFD, meaning you can go long or short within these hours without owning the underlying asset. All times shown follow CME/NYMEX exchange session times and adjust automatically for daylight saving changes in the US.
Cocoa Cash CFD typically sees its highest liquidity and tightest spreads during Standard liquidity session (12:00 UTC–16:00 UTC). Liquidity peaks when the relevant commodity exchange pit session is active.
Lower-volume periods, particularly the Asian session, may see wider spreads and thinner order books. For traders on trend-following and intraday strategies, timing entries around the Standard liquidity session open tends to offer the most favourable conditions.
Cocoa Cash CFD has a short daily maintenance break but is otherwise available throughout the entire trading week. Orders placed while the market is closed are queued and filled at the next available open price.
If you have a pending position when the market closes, it will be held overnight and a swap rate will apply. For Cocoa Cash CFD, the current swap rates are -2.847 points long and 0.826 points short, with a triple swap applied on Friday.
