Futures contracts are derivative instruments. A futures contract represents a commitment to buy or sell a predefined amount of the underlying assets, e.g. stock, energy resources, metals, agricultural products, etc. at a predetermined price on a specified future date. Unlike securities trading, margins usually range from 5% to 15% of the value of the underlying commodities and are required to be deposited by investors of futures contracts to assure performance on their contract commitments. Please note that the margin requirement is subject to change.
