Margins on futures contracts are even less than for stocks, as low as 3 p.c. on some futures contracts compared with up to fifty percent for stocks. Commissions charged by futures brokerages are routinely a lot less than brokerage commissions for other investments. Futures markets use the open outcry ( auction type ) strategy of trading guaranteeing extremely public, fair, and efficient markets. Transactions can be finished quickly, which lowers the chance of inauspicious market moves If you own stocks you are an owner of the company.
However, a company can go broke, leaving you holding valueless stock. The stock you purchased three years back is similar stock you should buy today. The one that they have the most confidence in. But there's one indicator that I refer to more frequently than any other. By this I mean the first thing you need to look at is the form of the stock's chart. And any patterns that you could be able to identify. Especially , look for trends and consolidation. This is a informative page on day trading. Also, be looking out for double tops and bottoms and triangles and head and shoulder patterns. Because it's just in the field of the basic price action that you can make your trading calls. And it's only from this understanding that you must start to apply your technical indicators. Indeed, use this first process as a screening device. Because, unless the chart straight away "speaks" to you, you need to dump the stock from any farther review. What I mean by this is that unless there's a clear reversal pattern or potential for a breakout, go on. The Sep corn contract you traded last year isn't the Sep corn contract you are trading this year. This contract month for corn would be Sep 2000 and so is named the front month. The months of November and December two thousand, Jan 2001, March 2001, May 2001 and July 2001 are back months though they are in the future and even flow into the following year.
