Futures markets are similar to stock and foreign exchange (forex) markets, and in fact both forex and stocks depend heavily on the futures markets for liquidity and direction. Trading in the futures markets allows traders to diversify and to select from stocks, forex, energies, precious metals, interest rates, and agricultural products, as well as options, all from the same trading account.

The commanding advantage of futures trading is the high degree of leverage offered, often requiring as little as 2-5% cash to control the underlying asset. Recent developments in electronic trading across the futures markets has drawn huge liquidity and new traders into the futures markets, for both short term and long term trading methodologies.
