Futures Trading Pit

• What Are Futures?

In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a futures exchange, to buy or sell a certain underlying instrument at a certain date in the future, at a specified price. The future date is called the delivery date or final settlement date. The pre-set price is called the futures price. The price of the underlying asset on the delivery date is called the settlement price.

A futures contract gives the holder the obligation to buy or sell, which differs from an options contract, which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation. In other words, the owner of an options contract may exercise the contract. Both parties of a "futures contract" must fulfill the contract on the settlement date. The seller delivers the commodity to the buyer, or, if it is a cash-settled future, then cash is transferred from the futures trader who sustained a loss to the one who made a profit. To exit the commitment prior to the settlement date, the holder of a futures position has to offset their position by either selling a long position or buying back a short position, effectively closing out the futures position and its contract obligations.

Futures contracts, or simply futures, are exchange traded derivatives. The exchange's clearinghouse acts as counterparty on all contracts, sets margin requirements, etc.

Profits Run: Forex Trading | Stock Trading | ETF Trading | Financial Education

Our philosophy at Profits Run is that trading any market is a very personal decision. Your circumstances are unique, as are your financial and personal goals. That's why we offer a wide variety of training courses for you to choose from. There is no one "perfect" or "best" course, because every trader is different. So, we invite you to explore our training courses and try them out in the privacy of your own home, or "trading lab". That way, you can determine for yourself what the best course is for you. And, if you're like some of our students, you'll end up investing in all of our training courses. "The trading methods you use are sort of like the clubs you use playing golf," says company founder & President, Bill Poulos. "Certainly you could play 18 holes of golf with just a putter. You might even make some great shots, but overall, you'll have a hard time competing with someone who's playing with a full set of clubs. Likewise, in trading, the more trading methods and techniques you have available to attack the markets, the more profit potential you'll have a shot at capturing."
