                                    Commodities represent a big part of the futures-trading world. Stock futures investing
                                    lets you trade futures of individual companies and shares of ETFs. </p>

                                    Futures contracts also exist for bonds and even bitcoin. Some traders like trading
                                    futures because they can take a substantial position (the amount invested) while putting
                                    up a relatively small amount of cash. That gives them greater potential for leverage
                                    than just owning the securities directly.</p>

                                    Most investors think about buying an asset anticipating that its price will go up in the
                                    future. But short-selling lets investors do the opposite — borrow money to bet an
                                    asset's price will fall so they can buy later at a lower price.</p>

                                    One common application for futures relates to the U.S. stock market. Someone wanting to
                                    hedge exposure to stocks may short-sell a futures contract on the Standard & Poor’s 500.
                                    If stocks fall, they make money on the short, balancing out their exposure to the index.
                                    Conversely,
                                    the same investor may feel confident in the future and buy a long contract – gaining a
                                    lot of upside if stocks move higher.</p>

                                    Many speculators borrow a substantial amount of money to play the futures market because
                                    it’s the main way to magnify relatively small price movements to potentially create
                                    profits that justify the time and effort.</p>

                                    But borrowing money also increases risk: If markets move against you, and do so more
                                    dramatically than you expect, you could lose more money than you invested. The CFTC
                                    warns that futures are complex, volatile, and not recommended for individual investors.

                                    Leverage and margin rules are a lot more liberal in the futures and commodities world
                                    than they are for the securities trading world. A commodities broker may allow you to
                                    leverage 10:1 or even 20:1, depending on the contract, much higher than you could obtain
                                    in the stock world. The exchange sets the rules.</p>
                                <p class="p-home-m-seo-become-a-trader__item-text" data-trans="become_a_trader_item_1_text_2">
                                    The greater the leverage, the greater the gains, but the greater the potential loss, as
                                    well: A 5% change in prices can cause an investor leveraged 10:1 to gain or lose 50
                                    percent of her investment. This volatility means that speculators need the discipline to
                                    avoid overexposing themselves to any undue risk when investing in futures.</p>
