The Basics of Futures Trading



Have you heard of futures trading? From day trading to positions trading, many people trade in the futures markets. There are also futures options where traders trade an option contract which is directly related to the underlying futures market.

What exactly are they trading? Future commodity trading is not like the stock market where people buy shares of a stock. You do not actual own anything. You are just speculating on what the price will be of a commodity in the future.

When you want to put on a futures trade, you must first put up margin money. This is in case the market moves against you; you will have enough capital to pay the loss to the brokerage firm.

Although speculators make up the bulk of futures traders, the markets were intended to protect farmers from losing everything. A farmer can hedge in the futures and protect any loss he will have in the cash market. A farmer can sell the futures in wheat. He can do this if he thinks the wheat market will fall before harvest. A bread manufacturer might buy the futures if he thinks the price will rise before harvest. Whatever happens to the wheat market, both will guarantee their price.

A speculator is interested only in trading to make a profit. If he thinks the market will rise, he will purchase the futures. If he thinks the market will fall, he will sell the futures. You do not have to own the contract first to sell it. You can first sell the futures contract.

There is risk in any type of trading. That is why some traders only buy futures options, so they know their risk is limited to what they paid for the option. Others who trade futures contracts use technical analysis like Fibonacci trading. They will only enter trades that have criteria from the chart analysis.

Hello guys,

I’m interested in learning more about forex, options and futures trading. I heard that there are mini or micro account that can go as little as US$ 200 or 300 dollar. Is it true ?

Also, any recommendations for free forex, options and futures trading simulators ? I know that some websites provide this service but usually the virtual capital is too high (10K or up), and I want to set the initial capital to small amount like US$ 300 or 500.

If possible, is there any recommendations for courses/books ? I’m not aiming for those “fancy” amount of income, several thousand/month is OK. Of course I’m not looking for courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…
Thanks for the input. I agree that it’s a bit too much to expect thousands of returns for such a small amount of capital.

But, if I expect my capital which is around 300 or 500 to be doubled by around 1-2 month. Doesn’t is sound possible ????
My plan is actually something like this :
The capital will be 300 or 500. The goal is to double the capital by around 1 – 2 mounth(s).
When I have more money, I will buy more lots…

To make it safer, every time I manage to double the previous capital, I will do one more time before I plan to use more capital to trade.

It will be something like this (US$500 capital) :
500 – 1000 – 1000 (don’t use for trading) – 2000 – 2000(don’t use for trading) – 4000 and so on …

Now the problem is to find the system that are able to do this… Any recommendations ?

I personally distrust systems that cost hundreds or thousands or dollars. There are simply too many scams…
