Futures Trading and Positions

Futures trading allows you to speculate on the price of an asset at a future date. When you place a futures order, you're entering a contract to buy or sell an asset at a specified future date and price. This allows you to potentially profit from price movements in both directions - if you expect the price to rise, you can take a long position (buy), and if you expect the price to fall, you can take a short position (sell).

Your positions in futures trading will be either 'open' or 'closed':

  • An 'open' position means that the trade is currently active. You have an obligation to buy (long position) or sell (short position) the asset at the predetermined price.

  • A 'closed' position means that the trade has been completed, either because it reached the predetermined price or because you manually closed the trade.

It's important to monitor your open positions regularly, as the futures market can be highly volatile. Always be aware of the risks associated with futures trading, especially when using leverage, as it can lead to substantial losses.
