Futures Market Explained

  • Farmers use various tools to control the many risks in agriculture. Watching the weather influences when they plant or harvest. Buying crop insurance and selecting farm bill safety net programs helps protect them from crop devastation. But they can also manage some of the threat posed by volatile market prices by participating in the futures market. Farmers can get a feel for how that works if they play Commodity Classic, an online teaching tool that uses fictitious bushels of grain in a fake futures market.
    But here at Harvest Public Media, we wanted to better understand how the futures market helps both producers and users of a major commodity, such as corn. And how the benefits trickle down to regular food consumers. Here’s what we learned.

    This is how finance should be explained. Like to a child, and then that child goes and explores the subject because now the basic understanding is strong, making it easier to understand the complexity of it all.

      but i still don't understand. she has corn + futures contract.
      price goes up, she sells her regular corn, because she makes more profit
      price goes down, she uses futures contract, because this protects her from selling at a loss
      but what happens with the futures contract when price goes up? she just holds on to it?
      maybe a "toddler" version would help me understand....

      @@ziggytonumaa Futures contracts have a specific delivery date. They are a contractual _obligation_ to sell or buy at the agreed-upon price. When the time comes, she _has_ to sell her corn at that price, and the cereal company _has_ to buy it - regardless of what the current market price of corn is at the time. This is the whole point of futures: to hedge against unpredictable and unfavorable moves in market price, by locking down a price for a delivery date ahead of time.

    I think it is important to spread funds in channels that are poised to do well in recession. I'm currently finishing my 6th duplex and retired from the rat race at 35 and what funded all these were strategic investing in stocks and consistent trading crypto. I'm exceptionally well positioned for what's to come because my portfolio is solid enough to withstand and outperform irrespective of the market trends.

    • @gwho
      @gwho 6 лет назад +1

      uh, no?
      this video just says "contract. there for profit"
      The whiteboard video actually explains the steps and terminology.
      A good video needs to show each step when a price changes.
      And it needs to explain how a contract is sold or bought to a third party without the other end of the contract changing.
      Talking really slow, and empahsizing words like "BUY", and "CORN" and pretty pictures don't actually explain the underlying concept.
      The biggest confusion can be that the buying and selling of the underlying asset is separate from buying and selling the contract. And the contract has two sides, a buyer and seller of the asset.
      Also, while when a futures contract is sold, simply saying a contract is sold is incomplete. It needs to be specified whether the buying side or the selling side of the contract is sold. Both sides of the contract aren't sold.
      If you want to learn the actual inner workings of how things work, instead of just thinking you understand something when all you know is the concept at a superficial level (and thus won't be able to explain it properly yourself), watch the "whiteboard" video

    The people teaching finance want to teach it in ambiguous manner to allow them to hold the secrets. Many of the “sophisticated schemes” on Wall Street are not sophisticated at all. It’s just a different vocabulary and built in hurdle to keep others from truly understanding what is going on.

    Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm starting to learn about futures. I already trade Forex and I'm satisfied with my trading. What I'm finding a bit difficult to understand in futures contracts is how do I backtest the contracts that expire monthly, for example? I know I can't trust a continous chart to do it because it's an artificial build, right? This is more common in the mini contracts, right? The full contracts are easier to backtest and do technical analysis because they are just one contract, one chart, so I can go back in time let's say, 3, 4 years and do some technical analysis to determine some critical support and resistance areas. How do futures traders make this analysis with mini contracts that expires every month? Do I have to open a lot of individual charts and write down the most busy S/R areas and then apply it to the most recent chart (contract)? OR can I use the main full contract chart? Will the main full contract chart have the same areas of S/R? This is what I wanna understand so I Can apply my Forex trading skills to the futures. Forex is easy I just need to choose a pair and voilla, I have 20 years of data in the same chart with critical price areas that I can trust. I believe that it's impossible to have a trend following system in mini futures because I need to get rid of my position in 1 month...
