Introduction to the Futures Exchange
This section gives you a clear, beginner-friendly foundation in futures contracts, what they are, why they exist, and how they’re used across real markets. You’ll learn how a futures contract locks in today’s price for a later transaction, why that matters to businesses facing volatile costs, and how hedging works for producers, consumers, and investors. We compare commodity futures with financial futures, so you see how broad the market really is. You’ll also get the essentials of contract structure: standard sizes, expiration months, and cash vs. physical settlement. Whether you want to manage risk, understand market pricing, or take the first step toward trading futures, this is the perfect place to start.
Introduction to Options

We break down how options are structured, how they differ from stocks and futures, and the key terms every trader needs to know. You’ll also explore how options are priced, why traders use them for hedging, speculation, and income, and how risk is managed with defined outcomes.
