  • Summary

  • From a risk perspective, it is extremely important for Futures Traders to consider the notional value of a contract rather than the market value. In this episode of the Optimus Futures Podcast, we discuss the importance of understanding the actual size and value of a Futures contract. Futures contracts are highly leveraged, which means a small investment essentially controls a large amount of notional value. More leverage is not always a benefit. A small market movement can have a large impact, positive or negative, on your account's P/L. TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS.

Very Informative

Novice here, and I thought this was cool
I’ve been looking at points and did not see the value of a contract.
Matt Z seems down to earth. Lol
