Cocoa questions

Cocoa is the price of cocoa in US dollars, quoted as a cash CFD that follows the futures market.

Each broker quotes its own bid and ask from its own liquidity providers, so prices can differ a little from broker to broker. The prices here are indicative bid quotes. Spreads also widen around big news and when the market opens.

Cocoa trades only during its futures exchange's session, for part of the day on weekdays, so its price can open with a gap from where it closed.

Contract sizes for Cocoa differ from broker to broker. Your broker's contract specification shows how much one lot is and what a $1.00 move is worth per lot, so check it before you size a trade.
