Frequently Asked Questions
A futures contract is a standardized legal agreement to buy or sell a particular commodity or financial instrument at a predetermined price at a specified future date.
Margin is calculated as a percentage of the notional value. For example, if the notional value is $50,000 and the margin rate is 5%, the required margin is $2,500.
Notional value is the total value of the underlying asset that the futures contract controls, calculated as contract size multiplied by price per unit and number of contracts.
