    What is Financial Futures Trading?<\/h2>\n

    \"commodityFutures contracts<\/span><\/span><\/strong> are <\/span>extremely popular among experienced investors as they allow you to trade the future value of an asset without taking ownership upfront.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The main premise is that you need to <\/span><\/span>predict whether the value of an asset will increase or decrease<\/span><\/span><\/strong> before the futures contract expires.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, you might find a 3-month futures market on crude oil.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    If the contract price is $50 per barrel, you simply need to determine whether you think oil will be worth more or less than that amount in three months. If you speculate correctly, you will make a profit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    That said, there is no requirement to hold your futures contract until it expires.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    On the contrary, you can typically get out of the contract at any time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This allows you to lock in your profits early, or mitigate your losses. In terms of tradable markets, futures can be accessed across virtually any asset class.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This includes everything from stocks, oil, natural gas, currencies, wheat, and gold. In the online futures trading industry, most brokers allow you to buy and sell futures contracts with leverage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    This is up to 1:30 on Forex, 1:20 on gold and major indices and between 1:2 and 1:10 on other asset classes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    How does the Futures Trading Market work in Portugal?<\/h2>\n

    There is a lot to learn before you start trading the futures market in Portugal, as this particular segment of the financial markets is somewhat sophisticated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    In other words, you need to have a good understanding of the trading options \u2013 whether <\/span><\/span>NASDAQ futures<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , <\/span><\/span>Dow Jones futures<\/span><\/span><\/strong> or otherwise \u2013 and risk management options available to you before diving in head first.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Below you will find an explanation of the main terms you need to know when investing in futures in Portugal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    All Futures Trading Contracts Expire<\/h3>\n

    When you invest in a traditional asset like stocks and bonds, you can hold your shares for as long as you want.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Whether it\u2019s 10 weeks, 10 months or 10 years \u2013 the underlying asset can remain in your stock portfolio indefinitely. However, this is not the case when trading futures online.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    In contrast, futures contracts will always have an expiration date. In most cases, each contract has a duration of three months and expires on the third Friday of the respective month.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    When futures contracts expire, they will need to be liquidated. In simple terms, this means that the holder of the futures contract is legally required to buy or sell the underlying asset.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
