Futures Trading

Speculate and hedge
with futures contracts

Futures contracts let you lock in prices for assets months in advance — providing both hedging protection and speculative opportunity across commodities, indices, and currencies.

Futures Trading

Capitalize on future price movements

From agricultural commodities to equity indices — futures markets operate around the clock, offering deep liquidity and direct market access.

What Are Futures?

Futures are standardized contracts obligating the buyer to purchase — and the seller to sell — an asset at a predetermined price and date. They're widely used for hedging and speculation.

Leverage & Margin

Futures use leverage, meaning a small margin deposit controls a larger position. Understanding initial and maintenance margin requirements is essential for managing risk.

Contract Expiration

Each futures contract has a specified expiration date. Traders either close their position before expiry or roll it forward — a key mechanic to master before trading.
