Titles are supposed to be won through making smart moves, not by making trades out of desperation. There’s a reason why the nets and heat declined the last two years. The suns aren’t going to beat the spurs simply because they have one more big body to put on tim duncan. They just aren’t mentally tough enough overall, and one aging player isn’t going to change that. Maybe if they only had to give up kwame brown instead of their whole future, trading for kidd or shaq would make sense.

I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60–$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only over $140 a barrel. So here is my difficulty :

I have requested my agents spin the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon” But it does not work price up fast enough.

I have paid the mainstream media, the Think Tanks, and the major PR talking heads, to spin China and India (supply and demand) responsible for price hike, to deflect American public anger. But that does not go far enough.

Right now, I am extremely nervous and worried. I urgently need a prey to buy those “paper barrels” on my hording. So I can profit. But where can I find my prey ?

A contract, which is usually an agreement between two parties to buy and sell an asset at a specified time at a specified price, is known as future trading. Future trading is generally carried out on a futures exchange. A futures contract has a standardized date and month of delivery, price and quantity.

Futures are different from forwards in the sense that margin and delivery requirements are different. The futures exchange gives certain standard features for a contract to facilitate liquidity in futures trading. A futures contract may be set before maturity by having an equal and opposite transaction, which is the way majority of the transactions are held.

Expiration date is the date specified in the options or futures contract. The price at which the futures contract trades in the futures market is the futures price and the expiration date is usually the last Thursday of the respective month. Futures contractors are available in three series, having one month, two months and three months expiry cycles. A new contract of three-month expiry is introduced for trading on the Friday following the last Thursday.

Since many types of players are involved in trading futures, it helps in the process of proper price discovery. Apart from this, futures contracts also help in hedging of price risk commodity. Futures contracts are highly useful for the producer due to the fact that he gets an idea of the price that may prevail, which in turn helps him quote a realistic price.

On line future trading assists people to trade and exchange on the futures market and online futures trading allows the traders to scan the most recent exchange offers. The trader can send an order straight away into the exchange trading engine and also get the feed back or confirmation of the contracts instantaneously through on line futures trading.

In this way the trader is able to view a live market on the screen and interact with it.

On line future trading has a lot of advantages. The prices of the derivatives traded on the futures market are updated immediately and in real time through online future trading. Due to this interactivity the individual trader gets transparency of the market and good trade speed .It is possible to access the futures market from any computer with an Internet connection through online futures trading and trade on the important electronic futures exchange, around the globe.

To ensure smooth functioning of the futures trading done at the exchange there are certain inherent systems like the futures rolling settlement. Under the futures rolling system, all the trades that are unfinished at the end of the day are settled. The buyer has to necessarily make payments for the securities bought by him and the seller has to deliver the securities sold by him.

Another system that is in vogue is the weekly settlement system cycle wherein the transactions done during the week are squared off on the last day of the cycle, which means that a trader gets a longer time to speculate. When it comes to the question of trading futures for a living, trading futures is certainly a better choice than investing in equities.

Prior to the becoming the popular investment destination which it is now, online trading finds its roots in the eighteenth century with Japan trading rice and silk . The same concept was launched in the US by farmers who brought their products like oil and wheat on the market in an attempt to sell all their possessions.

However, as a system for determining the demand was not yet established at the time, the excess supply went to waste, and the shortage of supplies led to pushed prices at times.

Finally, market participants - buyers as well as sellers, found a way they can place an order in advance. They decided on a set amount of produce to be traded at a later date, and payment was made upon delivery, with sometimes an advance partial payment.

These were the first precursors of futures contracts. Businessmen have learned how to make money on these contracts through speculation. Some bought contracts when prices were low and sold when prices skyrocket, thus earning a profit for them.

This finally metamorphosed into a capital market.

Today, the future trading online is a center of fierce competition between traders. It has proven to be effective in stabilizing prices of commodities.

Since the produce is bought in advance, the shortage of commodities or excesses do not pose problems, Suppliers plan ahead of time and are able to make prompt deliveries. But, thanks to the unpredictability of the economy, futures markets are risky business.

But do keep in mind, when we are talking about futures trading on the net, the investors do not intend to be the final buyers of the supply, they are just present to make a profit on the trade.

As an investor, you are present to buy early, and sell the contract (not the produce) before it expires.

There are two main venues for futures: the traditional exchange of speech and the most popular commercial future online. Only the location varies, but they are essentially the same in both formats.

The basic difference is that in the classic speech forum for the exchange, brokers played a vital role because they were responsible for the execution of orders. Customers sent their orders to brokers in the trade, who in turn sent it to other brokers and agents on the floor.

When the deal is complete, the results are given to the customer and finally sent to brokerage houses.

For future trading online, customers can transact their trades directly from their computers to an online market place offered by the exchange. Presentation and execution of client orders are electronically done. Brokerage approval to trade, and the opinions of the brokering activity, are performed by the computer.

The computers on the exchange track all the commercial activities and marks matching bids and offers. The information is immediately relayed to brokerage houses and compensation. In a few seconds, the prices are known throughout the world.

But, sound research and thorough economic judgments are useful tools to get involved and be successful in this market.
