Market up:
Investors who hold a long position will generate profits,
whereas those who hold a short position will incur losses.
Market down:
Investors who hold a short position will gain profits,
whereas those who hold a long position will incur losses.
The Power of Leverage
TFEX offers a trading mechanism that enables investors to trade a large contract value of futures and options with a relatively small amount of capital. This is called greater capital efficiency. In addition, another benefit of leverage is gaining increased exposure in the underlying asset via having the position in futures or options contract.

Equipped with efficient clearing and settlement systems
Clearing and settlement mechanisms are in place to ensure integrity, transparency, and flexibility in all transactions. In addition, all trades on TFEX are cleared by the reliable clearing house with a fully integrated derivatives trading, clearing, settlement and depositary services.
