The futures markets attract a certain type of speculator,if you want to success then you need learn foreign exchange trading as they offer significant benefits at practically a fraction of the cost. For example, in order to trade on equity markets such as the US S&P500, an investor would need a significant sum of money.
 
Secondly, when trading an index where there is no leverage available, the investor must ensure that they have adequate funds to support their trading activity. Then, there is also the risk of price fills. In the stock markets and in most other markets, the price at which you want to buy and the price at which your order will be fulfilled can differ.

 

 

In some cases your order might be filled only partially. This is due to the nature of the markets, and for speculators such fills can quickly destabilise their trading.

 

The futures markets, although created for a specific purpose, have become a vehicle for day traders. Day traders take advantage of the benefits offered by futures markets to make a quick profit from the volatility.  

 

You no longer need to have a capital of $25,000 to trade on futures markets. Many day traders in futures can trade for as little as $5,000 if not less. These day traders trade the same markets as investors, but there are slight differences.

 

The biggest benefit that futures markets offer traders is that the contracts are already leveraged. Furthermore, futures contracts are standardized and cleared through an exchange, thus making them more trustworthy to trade. Last but not least, futures markets are very liquid and allow traders from anywhere in the world to trade the various contracts.
