Module 14 – Futures

Introduction

In the last few decades, futures contracts have grown from being solely for commodities to encompassing virtually any financial instrument you can think of. They started with futures contracts on currencies and treasury bonds, and then included futures on indices, and most recently single stock futures have become available.

In this module we’ll talk about the overall organization of futures contracts and the markets, and go on to explain some basic trading strategies.
