Is It Worth Getting Into Futures Trading?

It’s often said that futures trading is too risky for those without professional experience. But with the right risk management techniques, such as using stop-loss orders (which close trades to limit losses), futures trading can present some distinct advantages.

Traders can choose to go long (if they expect a price increase) or short (if they anticipate a drop). Plus, futures trading allows the use of leverage, which means traders don’t need to keep all their funds tied up on the exchange.
