The futures market allows traders to trade several sectors in the stock market by purchasing contracts for specified products. These contracts are much less complicated than trading options but a little bit more complicated than trading shares of a specific stock. There’s a bit of jargon to learn. However, there are a lot less terms to learn than options.
When trading options, traders are entering into a legal agreement. There is both a buyer and seller. “Something” is being contracted. There are a few basic future terms that make up a contract. Terms include notional value, ticks, tick size, margin, points, and handles.
Notional value is the value or spot price of the underlying asset. It determines the value of the futures contract. With stocks, each move up in price is measured in dollars. In the future, each move up is called a point. So, 1 point = $1.
Each underlying asset, such as /ES, /CL, /GC, moves in ticks. Each tick value is different based on the different assets. For instance, the /ES is measured in $0.25 ticks. So, four ticks make up a 1 point move. Each tick in the /ES is worth $12.50, so a 1-point move in the /ES is worth $50. If you have one contract and the futures move up or down 1 point ($1), you can make or lose $50 for each contract. We will teach you how all of this works in our futures trading course.
The great news is that you don’t have to take hold or deliver the product contracted with Futures. So, you don’t need truckloads of gold or oil delivered to your house, and you’re not responsible for delivering these commodities to someone else either. The futures market allows traders to trade products such as gold, oil, wheat, corn, and the overall market using contracts within their brokerage account.
Again, the great news is that your futures trading broker will handle everything for you automatically within your brokerage account. The process is very simple and nothing to worry about. There are some very important stipulations to be aware of, which we will teach and show you in our future course. The most important aspects of choosing the right broker include margin requirements, order execution, and how good their charts are.
There are nine different e-mini futures and micro futures categories that you can trade, and then different products under each category.
The different stock indexes are /ES, /NQ, /RTY, /EMD, /YM, /NKD, /VX, /BTC, /MES, /MNQ, /M2K, /MYM, /MME, and the futures trading hours are 5 pm – 3:15 pm ct & 3:30 – 4 pm Sunday thru Friday, except for /BT which is 5 pm – 4 pm.
The interest rate symbols are /ZT, /ZF, /ZN, /TN, /ZB, /GE, /ZQ, /GLB, and/UB. The futures trading hours for interest rates are Sunday through Friday, 5 pm – 4 pm.
Metals symbols are /SIL, /GC, /SI, /HG, /MGC, /YG, /YI, /PL, and /PA. The futures hours for metals are Sunday through Friday, 5 pm – 4 pm. /YG and /YI have futures hours of 7 pm – 4 pm.
Currency symbols are /6A, /6B, /6C, /M6A, /M6B, /M6E, /J7, /6E, /6J, /6M, /E7, /6N, /6S, /DX, and the futures hours are Sunday thru Friday 5 pm – 4 pm, except for /DX which is 7 pm – 4 pm.
Energy symbols are /BZ, /QG, /RB, /HO, /CL, /NG, and /QM. Trading hours are Sunday through Friday, 5 pm – 4 pm.
Grains are /ZC, /XC, /XW, /XK, /KE, /ZO, /ZS, /ZM, /ZL, /ZW. Hours are Sunday through Friday from 7 pm – 7:45 am and vary from 8:30 am – 1:20/1:45 pm.
Softs are /CC, /KC, /CT, /OJ, /SB. Futures hours vary on all of these.
Forest symbol is /LBS and trades Monday – Thursday 9 am – 4 pm and Friday 9 am – 1:55 pm.
Livestock symbols are /GF, /HE, and /LE, and trade Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 1:05 pm.
/MES is the ticker symbol for micro futures. It moves in $0.25 ticks just like the /ES, but the tick value differs. The tick value for micro futures is $1.25. Every 1-point move would be $5. So, each 1-point point move up or down would be the equivalent of a $5 gain or loss.
We can’t overstate our excitement for micro futures for several different reasons. They are a great way to practice trading futures before upgrading to the e-minis. Once your strategy is mastered, it’s much easier to migrate up to e-minis. The futures charts will remain identical, but the profits and losses will increase. We will show you what we mean in our futures trading course.
Another benefit of trading micros is that you no longer have to trade small-cap stocks. They are a fantastic way to grow a small account and practice becoming a trader. Again, the world of trading futures has opened up to most traders, no longer those with a large trading account.
Our recommendation is to practice paper trading futures first. Then, once you’ve mastered your strategy, start trading in a real account with /MES first and slowly scale your way up to the /ES once you feel comfortable.
The best way to learn futures trading is in a course and trade room. A course will teach you the knowledge about the different strategies. Then, a futures trading room will teach you how to trade them live in real time. Futures trading strategies are a great way to grow small and large trading accounts. E-mini futures are the most popular to trade. However, micro futures are a hot commodity in the market. Micro-futures allow traders to trade with a small account, which has changed the game in the futures market.
There aren’t any degrees of financial qualifications required to become a futures trader. Anyone can trade futures if they open a brokerage account and fund it. It’s important to learn how futures work before trading them.
It can take 1-5 years to learn futures trading, but these results aren’t typical. Most traders are not successful. Many factors go into becoming a successful trader, such as learning technical analysis and having the proper discipline and mindset.
Futures trading can be a very profitable trading strategy. Futures offer benefits such as flexible trading hours, no PDT rule, and not having to look at many symbols when trading. It’s important to realize that most traders are not profitable.

Stock training doesn’t need to be hard. But it sure feels hard when you don’t know where to turn for legitimate knowledge. There are tons of places to learn, but what makes us different?
Well, for starters, we’re just real everyday people who like trade stocks. We’re not gurus portraying a fancy lifestyle of cars and jets and beaches. Can you obtain those things with what we teach you? Sure you can. Is that what motivates us when teaching you how to trade?

Those emails we get, the feedback, the success we see. That is what our educational trading community is all about. We hold no secrets back. Our trading edge is your trading edge.
