Futures Trading Information That Pros Know by Heart

June 15, 2010 | By infiniche In Articles |

Learn futures trading information that professionals already know by heart. Here are some futures characteristics you can use as a checklist:

Futures contracts are settled daily and then assigned a final value price.

Based on settlement price the value positions are “marked-to-the-market” each day after closing bell.

Losses are not allowed to accumulate without some response being required.

The terms “futures contract” and “futures” refer to essentially the same thing.

To minimize credit risk to the exchange, traders must post a margin or a performance bond, typically a 5%-15% of the contract’s value.

Futures markets can allow a trader to use very high leverage relative to stock markets.
