That was my initial assumption too when I was first exposed to trading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">That said, if you are embarking on your trading journey, you should really consider checking out the futures market as well. Below are 5 reasons why I purely trade futures over stocks:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>#1 Futures offer Higher Leverage<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">Leverage is the buying or selling of an asset by paying only a portion of the price, while the remainder is covered by a lender (ie. Our brokers). <strong>While I do not recommend people to invest using leverage, but when it comes to trading, having and knowing leverage well can be very powerful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">Generally, typical retail stock trading brokers offer traders anywhere between 2:1 to 4:1 leverage. So, let\u2019s say a stock trader wants to trade 100 units of Apple shares ($130\/share), which sum up to $13,000. With a 2:1 leverage, the trader will need to fork out $6500, which is half the capital needed in order to trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>On the contrary, the leverage offered in the futures market is more generous.<\/strong> Most futures broker normally offers a margin requirement between 3% &#8211; 12%. So, let\u2019s say I want to trade an E-Mini S&amp;P 500 futures contract that\u2019s worth $205,000 ($50 Multiplier * 4100 Index Price), I\u2019ll only need $10,250 (assuming 3% margin) in my account to execute my trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">In other words, my leverage is 20:1, where I\u2019ll need only $10,250 capital to trade $205,000 worth of asset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>Through the futures market, traders can trade a large futures contract with a relatively small amount of capital.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">One important thing before we proceed: Leverage is a financial tool that comes with its advantages and risks. Please learn and understand both the upsides and downsides of leverage before using it in trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70985\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70985\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70985\" src=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/article-infograph-pg4.png\" alt=\"Futures trading offers higher leverage to traders compared to stocks trading.\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/article-infograph-pg4.png 800w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/article-infograph-pg4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/article-infograph-pg4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/article-infograph-pg4-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Futures trading offers higher leverage to traders compared to stocks trading.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>#2 Liquidity &amp; Transparency<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">The stock market is a relatively fragmented market compared to the futures market. As an example, there are 13 stock exchanges in total in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>On the other hand, the futures market is very consolidated. In the US, there are 2 major futures exchanges (The CME Group &amp; Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)). Hence, all futures transactions must go through these exchanges, leading to concentrated liquidity and volume.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">As a result, concentrated futures liquidity allows buyers and sellers of futures contracts to be matched at the desired price easily &amp; accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">In addition, important indicators such as volume, open interest, and bid\/offer spread are transparent and available readily for traders. Having these data is crucial as they offer better clarity to traders to make better trading decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70968\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70968\" style=\"width: 1126px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70968\" src=\"https:\/\/nomoneylah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/emini-snp-volume.png\" alt=\"Everyday, millions of trade volume for the E-Mini S&amp;P500 Futures goes through the exchange, which make data like volume and order flow transparent to the traders.

(Source: CME Group)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>#3 Less Restriction Compared to Stock Trading<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">As traders, having the freedom to express our opinions into a trade idea is crucial. Meaning, I\u2019d want to have the least friction on when and how I should long or short the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>However, the stock market is embedded with rules that may not be best in favor of traders.<\/strong> As an example, the Regulated Short Selling (RSS) program only has limited securities that traders can short. Furthermore, limits are imposed to prevent excessive short-selling activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>In comparison, there is no such restriction in the futures market and traders are free to express their trade ideas in any direction. \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>#4 Better Focus<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">In stocks trading, traders would need to go through hundreds of stocks in search of the ones that\u2019d actually move in accordance with their strategies. It is common to see stock traders having multiple stocks that they are monitoring. The combined effort of filtering and monitoring multiple stocks can be overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\"><strong>On the other hand, most futures traders usually need to focus on only 1 or 2 futures products to trade. More so, I have seen traders trade only 1 to 2 products, and make a full-time living out of it.<\/strong> Personally, I am trading purely the E-Mini S&amp;P 500 futures, which gives me enough movement and volatility to execute trades most of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Experience_Futures_Today_by_Kenanga_Futures_Learn_futures_trading_risk-free_get_rewarded\"><\/span><span class=\"font-555555\"><strong>Experience Futures Today by Kenanga Futures: Learn futures trading risk-free (&amp; get rewarded!)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"font-500830\">Now, it is impossible for me to go through futures trading in detail in a short article like this.
