When you trade futures when do you pay the buy/sell price?
Also…why are the price different for the different months?
And…does the margin price affect your gains or simply your status to trade?

Thanks alot in advance!

What the heck is the ‘underlying product’ at a specific price, and future date am I agreeing to buy or sell when I trade Stock Index Futures. I figure a E-mini Futures Contract for a commodity such as corn or soy beans derives it’s value from the ‘underlying product the commodity itself hence the contract is a derivative. So my question is …On what asset, is a flipping statistic such as a ’stock index’ based. I need to be enlightened Thanks?
