Shadowtraders Education specializes in teaching its clients to trade the Futures Market, in particular,

"Financial Futures"

What are Futures?

Futures are standardized, transferable "Contracts" between a buyer and a seller that require the delivery of a commodity, bond, currency or stock on a specified future date.

The seller is obligated to make delivery at a specified future date. The buyer is obligated to take delivery at a specified future date.

Futures Contracts began about 300 years ago in Japan. At that time, Japan was run by Warlords (Shoguns), each of whom maintained a vast army.

In order to ensure that his army had enough food, (and in Japan that mean rice) Shoguns would contract with rice farmers to purchase the farmer's crop while the crop was still in the ground. When the rice was finally harvested, the farmer would bring the harvest to the Shogun at the Future Date.

Today, Futures Contracts are still being traded.
If you can eat it, wear it, use it, or spend it, it is probably being traded as a Futures Contract.

In fact, trading Futures Market today is so popular,
you can make money whether the Market goes up or down.

When the Market goes Up "Go Long".
When the Market goes Down "Go Short".

"Go Long"

You "buy" Futures contracts with the expectation that the price of the contracts will go up in value.

You hold the contracts.
They appreciate in value (hopefully)
and then you sell them at the higher price.

Your profit is the difference between where you first bought the contracts and where you sold them.

"Go Short"

You "sell" Futures contracts with the expectation that the price of the contracts will go down in value.

You hold the contracts.
They depreciate in value (hopefully)
and then you sell them at the lower price.

Your profit is the difference between where you first sold the contracts and where you bought them later.

How do you sell Future Market contracts you do not own?

You borrow Futures Contracts from your broker and sell them, with the understanding that they must later be bought back (hopefully at a lower price) and returned to the broker.

Short selling (or "shorting") is a technique used by investors to profit when the Market's prices fall.

Why would someone want to trade Futures Contracts instead of Stocks?

Increased liquidity - No waiting for someone to buy your shares for you to exit a position or waiting for someone to sell you their shares so you can enter a position

No Uptick Rule - with Stocks, short sale transactions are entered at a price higher than the previous trade price

What is the difference between a

Futures Contract and a

Financial Futures Contract?

Futures traders primarily trade commodities, such as rice, sugar, wheat, soybeans, corn.

To trade commodities, you need a thorough understanding of:

Weather Conditions
U.S. Department of Agriculture Rules and Policies
Transportation
International Competition
Pesticides

A Financial Future is not based upon a commodity

A Financial Futures contracts are based upon
Treasury Bonds, Foreign Currencies and Stock Indexes.

Financial Futures are traded at the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)
and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT)

This demo will concentrate on trading the
S&P 500 E-Mini.

What are S&P 500 E-Mini Futures Contracts?

Standard and Poors (S&P), the independent auditor, values all companies trading on the NY Stock Exchange. S&P selects the top 500 companies and creates an Index based upon their combined value. You cannot trade an Index.

The CME created a Futures Contract based on the S&P 500 Index in 1982 for institutions to trade. This was the first Financial Futures contract.

In 1998, the CME created a Mini version for individual investors to trade electronically (E-Mini). In 1998, 7000 contracts traded daily. Today, as many as 3 million contracts trade daily.

Let's compare trading stocks
with
trading Financial Futures

Instead of buying shares of stock,
buy Financial Future Contracts

Taken the $8,200 from the IBM investment
and buy 15 contracts at $500 each

Instead of investing 4 months, invest 4 minutes

Unlike stocks that trade in pennies,
S&P 500 E-Mini Futures Contracts
trade in 25c increments, known as "Ticks"

Remember the $8,200 IBM investment?
With $8,200, your brokerage allows you
to trade 15 contracts

For each tick increment, profit is
$8 / contract after commission
($9 or $10 / contract for active traders
due to a sliding commission scale)

Make just 2 ticks profit daily
(in two separate trades of 1 tick profit each)
@ $8 / contract profit = $16
16 * 15 contracts = $240 a day
$240 * 20 days / month = $4,800
$4,800 * 4 months = $19,200

$19,200 profit in 4 months,
is over a 230% Return on Investment (ROI)

Annually, an $8,000 investment =
$76,800 or 950% ROI

How hard is it to make 2 ticks daily?

The S&P 500 E-Mini moves
anywhere between 12 and 20 points / day
1 point = 4 ticks
On average, that is anywhere between
48 and 80 ticks

Think you can find just 2?
