Basic Futures Trading Education
A futures contract is an obligation to buy or sell a commodity at some time in the future, at a price determined today. There are two types of futures traders: hedgers and speculators. Hedgers use futures contracts to protect themselves from adverse price movements. Speculators use the futures market to make a profit on price fluctuations. In the case of financial and stock futures, the commodity to be delivered on the delivery date is simply cash.

As noted above, a futures contract is an obligation, and that obligation needs to be fulfilled. This is one reason why it is important to understand futures quotes. Futures quotes are unique in nature as they are comprised of two components. The first portion of the quote is given in thousands, while the second portion of the quote is given in 32nds. For example a 10 year T-note quote of 111.040 indicates the contract is worth $111,125. You get this by multiplying the first portion of the quote by $1,000 and dividing the second portion of the quote by 32. On delivery date, the seller of the contract would have to deliver $111,125 to the buyer of the contract. To eliminate the obligation, a trader would simply make an offsetting trade (bought if one has sold, sold if one has bought).

Trading futures is one of the riskiest forms of trading. This is because of the small margin available for futures traders. Unlike the margin required for stock purchases--which is typically 50 percent--futures contracts will have margins between two to 15 percent. The margin levels are set by the exchanges, are based on volatility, and can change at any time. In most instances the margin requirement is around 5 percent. The high leverage allows the opportunity for large profits, but it also carries the potential for devastating losses. Unless you trade a system that never loses, of course.
