While it is not uncommon for some futures traders to turn $10,000 into $100,000 over a short time period, the reverse is just as common. The inherent risk of these instruments should always be remembered. Because of this, trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. The following headlines will help you determine whether or not futures trading is appropriate for you. Each contains important information that you, as a potential first-time futures trader, needs to know. This information is taken from the disclosure documentation that is distributed to customers prior to their opening a futures trading account. This information is not a substitute for the disclosure documentation, but it does give you a general idea of the risks involved in futures and options trading.
