Description

Futures trading is a high-energy environment. Futures trade just like Stocks - they have unlimited profits as well as unlimited losses. And just like Stocks, they don't have any Greeks other than Deltas (Did you know Stocks had a Delta). Futures trading is generally a more leveraged environment than Stocks, and also trade by Tick sizes and Tick values. We discuss Futures Trading in detail, and also put on a couple of Futures trades on the S&P E-mini Futures, trading under the symbol /ES. We look at Futures Trading activity around the world, the volumes and the 24-hour trading window. Futures trading is also very simple to get in and out of trades, so it's popular with day traders.
