What are Futures?

so one of function is we can hedge our speculative asset such as crypto to the futures contract that has negative correlation within crypto so we hedged against the risk of the crypto. is it the case?

Love this. Short and easy to follow. When explained this way it expands your knowledge further more easily. 🙏 I am an OAP woman getting to grips with this 😂

Sounds like the same as options with stocks

Why the fk would i want to buy 1oz of gold of 1550$ in the future when its 1500$ now.

So is it like the same thing as spot trading. Can I just place a trade directly off of MT4/5, tradingview, ninjatrader ECT. after doing my fundamental and technical analysis.

what’s the difference between futures and options ?

BEST!!!

Love how the Baker, farmer and video guy are all the same person

Impresive! I am preparing for the CFA Level 3 exam and this video just helped me put a lot of stuff into perspective.

i thought the price say on a crude oil Depth of Market Chart was the actual price of oil at that time? Is it just the price on the contract then?

Do you need to know the finer details on a futures contract before you bid on it?

Futures are BULLSHIT way of making a living-Please try something else or do nothing at all because that is what this is-

can someone explain future shorting; didnt understand how someone would make a profit from shorting a future

So futures is like shorting except you want it to go up

You can have a spot price for a given point in the future, which is what implied volatility dictates at a given period in time, correct? Does it work for commodities and bonds the exact same?

I don’t understand how this is different than the practice for which the Enron cats went to prison. Someone help?

The fact that futures deal with prices in the future that nobody is 100 percent sure because of a lot of elements driving a price of an asset is in itself a risk already, adding a component of being able to lever a future position makes one party be tempted to borrow that money so he or she can magnify the gain he or she is hoping to get and when things don't happen to wat hey expect, it also magnifies their losses on their equity or margin. If you put your fate on Future + Leverage you are pretty much risking it all

if all contracts don't care about the commodity transaction occurring and instead settle for cash; then it turns into a glorified overly complicated gambling game.
I bet something is going to be at some price and pay an ante. If I'm right I win the difference, and if I'm wrong I lose the difference. You essentially make or lose money off money itself(not an actual service or good), just like gambling.

So basically something like options for commodities?

Great explanation thanks:)

Next: What are Pasts

I don't understand though, why on earth you would buy a contract to buy something in the future when it is going to be more expensive then, if the object in question is available right now.
Why would you buy a contract to pay 1.500 € for a 10g of gold and not even receive it right now, if you could buy 10g of gold right now for 1000€ and additionally have the gold right now.
I'd be glad if someone explained this to me. I thank you in advance

you sir should definitely open a channel with deep explanations of these concepts :0

so it's completely made up assets? Cool.
