Futures trading is a type of financial trading that allows investors to buy or sell a specific asset at a predetermined price at a specific future date. This type of trading is considered one of the financial derivatives, as the price of the contract is based on the price of the underlying asset, such as commodities, currencies, or indices.
Advantages of futures trading:
Hedging: It is used by producers and consumers to reduce the risk of price fluctuations.
Leverage: Traders can control larger amounts than their original capital.
Transparency: Futures contracts are traded on regulated exchanges, ensuring transparency and security.
Profit opportunities: It provides a chance to make profits from price movements in either upward or downward directions.
Risks of futures trading:
Significant losses: Due to leverage, you may incur losses that exceed your capital.
Market volatility: Markets can change rapidly, increasing risks.
Financial obligations: If you cannot meet margin requirements, your positions may be liquidated automatically.
How is trading done?
Trading is conducted through futures exchanges such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) or the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange, where specific duration, quantity, and price contracts are entered. Traders can use technical and fundamental analysis to make their decisions.
