Despite the benefits, futures trading can also be risky。However, risk can be reduced by choosing the right broker for futures trading。

While some traders prefer to trade more traditional assets such as stocks and commodities, others may have different preferences, such as futures。A futures transaction is a derivative financial contract in which participants agree to buy or sell a particular asset at a set price at a specific date in the future.。

Futures contracts or futures trading involve buyers and sellers.。When the contract expires, the buyer is obliged to purchase and receive the underlying assets。At the same time, the seller must provide and deliver the underlying assets。Since not all brokers have this product, futures trading brokers will facilitate this process。

About Futures

Just like other types of trading, the profits and losses of futures contracts are unlimited。In both cases, traders still have to deal with the impact of daily price fluctuations and market fluctuations。Despite the risks, futures trading is considered one of the best ways to make a profit from the market。In fact, most retail traders and portfolio managers are involved in futures trading。

These contracts apply to the most popular assets like crude oil, natural gas and wheat, stock indices, currencies, precious metals, bonds, and even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin。

Many traders often confuse futures with options。In fact, they have some fundamental differences。As long as the contract is valid, an option contract gives the trader the right to buy or sell an instrument at a specific price, but not the obligation to。

For futures contracts, traders must buy and sell instruments on a specific agreed date, unless the position is closed before the expiration date.。Futures involve the greatest responsibility of the buyer and the seller, as when the price of the underlying asset changes, both parties must deposit more funds into their trading accounts to meet their obligations。

Futures have many risks, but why do many traders use futures?？It turns out that futures contracts have various benefits。

1.Speculation

Many traders use futures contracts for market speculation。Speculators usually analyze the market as much as possible and predict price movements in order to profit from it。

For example, if they buy a futures contract, and the price of the instrument rises, and they trade above the original price at expiration, they will make a profit。Speculators can also sell speculative positions。

In this case, if they predict that the price of the underlying asset will fall, they will make a profit and the net difference will be settled when the contract expires。Typically, speculators use any type of analysis, whether technical or fundamental, another way to speculate on market prices is spread trading。

2.Hedging

Futures can be used to hedge against price movements in the underlying asset, with the main idea similar to conventional hedging, both to prevent potential losses due to unforeseen circumstances。The use of futures for hedging is actually very popular among businesses.。

For example, a cocoa company can hedge by opening a sell position in a futures contract。This way, they can reduce the risk of falling cocoa prices。
