Rollover

Rollover in trading refers to the extending of the maturity date of a financial instrument, such as a futures contract or currency trade, to a later date. This is done by closing out the original position and simultaneously opening a new one with a later maturity date. Rollovers can be used to avoid physical delivery of an underlying asset, or to maintain a trading position without having to continually buy and sell the same instrument.

This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to take advantage of favourable market conditions, to avoid the delivery of physical assets, or to manage cash flow or tax implications.
