Key features of futures trading
Futures contracts have standardized terms, including the quantity of the underlying asset, quality specifications, delivery months, and tick sizes. This standardization ensures transparency and facilitates liquidity in the market.
Futures trading involves trading on margin, which means that traders are required to deposit a percentage of the contract's value (initial margin) to initiate a position. This allows traders to control a larger position than their invested capital, amplifying both potential profits and losses.
Futures markets provide a platform for price discovery, as the buying and selling activities of market participants determine the futures prices. This price transparency helps traders gauge market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
Futures contracts serve as risk management tools for market participants. Hedgers use futures contracts to mitigate price volatility and protect against adverse price movements in the underlying asset. Speculators, on the other hand, aim to profit from price fluctuations by taking positions based on their market expectations.
Futures trading offers leverage, allowing traders to control a large position with a relatively small initial investment. This leverage amplifies potential gains but also exposes traders to higher risks. It is crucial to manage leverage carefully and understand the associated risks.
Futures contracts are typically settled through a process called "marking to market." At the end of each trading day, gains or losses based on the price movement of the contract are calculated, and funds are transferred accordingly between buyers and sellers.
