Futures are contracts to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. Traders use them for hedging, speculation, and gaining exposure to commodities, indexes, rates, and currencies with leverage.
You post margin instead of paying full notional value. Profit and loss moves by ticks: each contract has a tick size, tick value, and multiplier. Small price moves can create large account swings.
A call can profit if the futures price rises above strike plus premium. A put can profit if price falls below strike minus premium. Your premium is the upfront risk for a long option.
