Futures markets have provided an efficient and effective mechanism for the management of price risks for nearly a century and a half. It has begun with agricultural futures contracts traded on the Chicago Board of Trade in 1865, now the U.S. futures markets lists a number of instruments, including metals, energy, financial instruments, foreign currencies, stock indexes, prediction markets, event futures and options on futures. In the 1990’s, exchanges introduced electronic trading enabling access to futures markets 24-hour, 7 day a week.
A futures contract is a legally binding agreement. Its contracts are standardized according to the quality, quantity and delivery time and location for each commodity. The only variable is price.

Futures contracts can derive from a variety of assets, from traditional commodities like corn, wheat, and orange juice to different asset classes, like government bonds, interest rates, energies and stock indices.
Individual Futures and Options traders can trade directly through a broker or Introduced Broker account and are traditionally placed in one of two groups:

1.Hedgers: Individuals and firms that have an interest in the actual commodity. Hedgers make purchases and sales in order to lock in a price for a physical good they later intend to buy or sell in the cash market.

2.Speculators: Individuals and firms who seek to profit from anticipated increases or decreases in futures price and settle in cash without any exchange of physical goods. In so doing, speculators help provide the risk capital needed to facilitate hedging.

The interaction of hedgers and speculators ensures an active, liquid and competitive futures market.

Contract for Difference (CFD)

CFD, i.e. Contracts For Differences, belong to the group of derived financial instruments, just as FX products do. However, they are not based on currencies, their base values constitute shares, indexes and raw materials. You, as an investor, will participate in the changes – exactly reflected – in the valuation of the base value. You may speculate on the upside stock or ensure your stock portfolio by taking advantage of downside

stock.

The CFD were developed so the client could benefit from the advantages of owning stock without actually really owning it. As the name of the CFD indicates, it is always a contract on a transaction based on the difference between the opening and closing value of a position. One of the advantages of CFD contracts is that, as with FX contracts, they are negotiated on a margin. Thus you can achieve great results even with small amounts.
