What are Futures
Futures are derivative contracts that obligate the parties involved to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined future date and a set price. The price is derived from the underlying asset and the nature of these contracts makes them useful for trading and hedging. Futures contracts come with an expiry date and there are no overnight swap fees involved, so they are very cost effective for long term trading.

Great for hedging
Trade with Leverage
How futures trading works
Futures trading works similarly to CFD trading, but each futures contract has an expiry date. You can close your position at any time or you can let the contract close at expiry. If you would like to maintain your position after the expiry date, you can open a new position in a futures contract with a later expiry date. Futures contracts are updated frequently with new expiry dates and the expiry date for each futures contract is indicated by the symbols suffix. For example, DJ.H24 is a Dow Jones futures contract that expires in March 2024. SP.N24 is an S&P 500 futures contract that expires in July 2024.

Futures are traded in lots
Futures trading involves leverage and margin
Futures trading example
You decide to buy 0.1 lots of S&P500 futures at 4500 using 100:1 leverage.
5 futures contracts x 4500 = USD 22,250
USD 22,250
USD 22,250 / 100 = USD 225
Now you have opened a long position in the S&P500 worth USD 22,250. Since futures are traded using leverage, only $225 was used as margin from your trading account. After some time, the price of the S&P500 moves and you decide to sell.
Scenario 1
The S&P500 moves up from 4500 to 4600 and you decide to sell.
This is how the profit or loss on the trade would be calculated.
P/L = (Current price - Initial price) x Position value) / Current price
P/L = ((4600 - 4500) × 22,250) / 4,600
P/L = (100 × 22,250) / 4,600
P/L= 483.70
Scenario 2
The S&P500 moves down from 4500 to 4400 and you decide to sell.
This is how the profit or loss on the trade would be calculated.
P/L = (Current price - Initial price) x Position value) / Current price
P/L = ((4400 - 4500) × 22,250) / 4,400
P/L = (-100 × 22,250) / 4,600
P/L = -483.70
