When most people trade forex for the first time, they trade the spot market, i.e. buying one currency and selling another for immediate exchange. However, there is another way to trade the forex markets, and that is through forex currency futures.
These are futures contracts traded on a recognised regulated exchange, the largest of which (as far as forex futures are concerned) is the CME in Chicago.
Futures trading doesn’t suit everyone. Futures, like most derivatives, are highly leveraged. This means that you can quickly lose not only your initial investment but more besides. The upside of this though, is that you can also quickly make a lot of money if the markets move in your favour.
Our advice is to only trade futures if you really know what you are doing and if you can afford to take the risk.
