A Futures Contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific asset at a predetermined price on a future date. It can be used by investors to hedge their portfolios and manage risk, as well as increase profits.

Is It Possible To Make Money With Futures Contracts?

The contract specifies the quantity and quality of the asset being traded, as well as the delivery date and price. Investors use futures contracts to protect themselves from volatile market conditions that could potentially cause losses.

For example, if an investor owns a portfolio of stocks that are subject to large fluctuations in price due to political or economic events, they may enter into a futures contract with another party who agrees to purchase those stocks at an agreed-upon price regardless of what happens in the markets. This provides stability for the investor's portfolio and helps them avoid potential losses due to unpredictable circumstances.

What Are The Different Strategies Used When Trading Futures Contracts?

Futures contracts also provide investors with leverage when investing in certain assets. Because the contract is only for a specified amount of time, investors can put up less capital than they would have otherwise needed to purchase the same amount of shares directly from the stock market. This allows them to maximize their returns while minimizing their risks by leveraging their investments.
