Structured trading from the source

Swiss DOTS is Swissquote’s derivatives trading platform, giving you access to a wide range of leveraged products issued by UBS, Goldman Sachs, Société Générale, BNP Paribas and Vontobel. You can trade instruments including warrants, knock-out warrants, mini-futures and structured products to take positions on underlyings such as equities, indices, commodities and currencies—all in one place.

Swiss DOTS gives you direct access to several different issuers who continually provide bid and ask prices for their products. These issuers act as market makers, providing continuous liquidity and transparent pricing in real time from 08:00 to 22:00. You can easily compare similar product from different issuers to find the most competitive spreads and trading conditions.

Use the product screener in the Tools area of our trading platform to filter products on Swiss DOTS by criteria such as underlying asset, leverage, term, strike price or barrier and identify the right instruments for your investment strategy and risk profile.

With leverage, you can get a much bigger exposure to an underlying asset compared to the amount you invested, which means even small market movements can trigger higher gains or losses. Derivatives carry significant risk, including the potential to lose your entire investment. Some products such as knock-out warrants may expire immediately if a pre-defined barrier is reached, making these instruments more suitable for experienced investors.

If a product reaches its barrier, as in the case of a knock-out warrant, for example, it can expire immediately and lose most or all of its value. On reaching maturity, products are automatically settled based on the value of the underlying asset, usually in the form of a cash payment.

Swiss DOTS is designed for active and experienced investors who are familiar with leveraged products and looking for short-term opportunities, tactical positions or hedging strategies for their portfolio.

Swissquote offers a selection of information materials including blog posts, webinars and market insights to help you better understand how derivatives work before you start trading.
