    About this ebook

    Futures contracts are used for a variety of purposes, including hedging against price fluctuations, speculating on the direction of prices, and arbitrage (taking advantage of price differences in different markets). They are used in a wide range of markets, including commodities (e.g. oil, wheat), currencies, and financial instruments (e.g. interest rates, stock indices). In a futures contract, one party (the "buyer") agrees to purchase the underlying asset at a future date, and the other party (the "seller") agrees to deliver the asset at that time. The buyer pays a small portion of the total purchase price upfront (called the "initial margin") and agrees to pay the remainder (the "settlement price") on the delivery date. The initial margin is typically a fraction of the settlement price and is used to cover the buyer's potential losses if the market moves against them.

      INTRODUCTION TWO FUTURES TRADING

      Definition of futures contracts

      A futures contract is a standardized, legally-binding agreement to buy or sell a specific asset (called the underlying asset) at a predetermined price on a future date. The parties to a futures contract agree to the terms of the contract when it is initiated, but the actual exchange of the underlying asset and payment takes place at a later date.

      Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges, and they are standardized in terms of the underlying asset, the quantity, and quality of the asset, the delivery date, and the settlement procedure. This standardization allows for easy comparison and evaluation of different futures
