This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Portsmouth, course: International Banking and Financial Instruments, language: English, abstract: This essay aims at explaining futures and forward contracts, describing their origins and purpose of usage as well as regulatory requirements. Moreover, it discusses advantages and disadvantages. Futures and forward contracts are financial instruments. More specifically, they are derivatives. Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset (Hirsa & Neftci, 2014). The literature distinguishes between physical commodities, such as corn or precious metals, and financial instruments, for example bonds, stocks or currencies, as underlying assets (Gottesman, 2016). Futures and forwards are agreements to buy or sell the underlying at a precise time in the future for a specified price, strike price. Their difference is that futures are traded on an exchange, whereas forwards are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, meaning off-exchange trading directly between two parties (Hull, 2016). Consequently, futures are standardized, whereas forwards can be privately negotiated.

Book excerpt: In this book, my primary goal is to demystify the world of trading financial instruments, focusing specifically on the Futures market and the asset classes within. I understand that the terminology, acronyms, and complexities of trading can feel like learning a new language, overwhelming at times. That's why I aim to simplify the concepts, making them easy to navigate and understand. I won't delve into unnecessary minutiae or overly complex topics that aren't essential for trading futures. Instead, I'll focus on providing fundamental knowledge across asset classes to empower you to make informed decisions about whether trading futures is right for you. I'll explain what futures are, how to trade them, provide examples of how they work in practice, deliver a glossary of terminology while also offering guidance on how you can start your own journey with minimal capital, possibly through proprietary firms. My ultimate goal is to provide a valuable resource for traders considering entering the world of futures trading, equipping them with the insights they need to take that leap with greater confidence and minimal friction. This book is ideal for anyone who is new to futures or, who has experienced the market first hand but is seeking a deeper understanding of the sector.
