Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is futures trading?
Futures trading involves contracts to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future. Unlike stocks, you don't own the underlying asset; you are speculating on its future price movement.
How is profit and loss (P&L) calculated in futures trading?
Net P&L in futures is calculated by finding the difference in price (points) between your entry and exit, multiplying it by the quantity of lots and the lot size, and then subtracting all transaction costs like brokerage.
What is 'Lot Size'?
In futures trading, a 'lot size' is the minimum quantity of an asset you can trade in a single contract. For example, if the lot size of a stock future is 500, one lot represents 500 shares of that stock. Your total profit or loss is multiplied by this lot size.
