Before you trade futures

Know the contract multiplier and tick value (ES = $50 per point).
Margin is not risk; your stop distance is.
Watch roll dates and settlement times.

Key terms, simply

Contract multiplier

Contract multiplier The money value of a one-point move in a futures or options contract.Example: E-mini S&P 500 (ES): $50 per index point, so a 10-point move is $500 per contract.More plain-language terms

Margin

Margin The deposit a broker or exchange holds to keep a leveraged position open. It is collateral, not the cost and not the maximum loss.Example: A $30,000 position at 30:1 needs about $1,000 of margin.Watch out: If equity falls below the maintenance level you can get a margin call or be closed out automatically.More plain-language terms

Contango

Contango When later-dated futures trade above nearer-dated ones (or spot). Rolling a long position then tends to cost money over time.More plain-language terms

Backwardation

Backwardation When nearer-dated futures trade above later-dated ones, often when the asset is scarce right now.More plain-language terms
