Basics of Futures Trading
What are Futures?
Futures are financial contracts obligating the buyer to purchase, and the seller to sell, a particular asset at a predetermined future date and price. These assets can include commodities, stocks, or currencies. The contracts detail the quantity of the asset and are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange.
How Does Futures Trading Work?
Futures trading is conducted on an exchange where people buy and sell contracts for delivery on set dates in the future. Traders use futures to hedge against price changes in the underlying assets, which helps manage risk, or to speculate on price movements, hoping to profit from rises or falls in the market. It’s important to note that most futures contracts are settled in cash and do not result in the actual delivery of the physical goods.
What are the Risks and Benefits of Trading Futures?
Trading futures offers several benefits including the ability to hedge against price volatility in various markets, and access to leverage, which can magnify profits (but also losses). However, the risks include significant financial loss, as futures are complex financial instruments that involve leverage, which means losing more than your capital is possible. Market volatility can substantially impact returns, making it necessary for traders to have risk management strategies in place.
What is the Difference Between Futures and Options?
Futures and options are both types of derivatives, but they function differently. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a price agreed upon today, requiring the transaction to occur on the specified date. Options, on the other hand, give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a set price before the option expires. This fundamental difference means that options often involve less risk (and potential loss) compared to futures, where the obligation is binding.
