Futures trading strategies

Futures trading strategies involve agreeing today to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. Traders use these strategies to hedge against price changes or to speculate on market movements. Common approaches include buying futures to profit if prices rise (long position) or selling futures expecting prices to fall (short position). More advanced strategies combine multiple futures contracts or integrate other financial tools to manage risk, capitalize on trends, or lock in prices. Overall, futures strategies require understanding market trends, timing, and risk management to be effective.
