Please be aware that the current futures contracts will expire shortly. Most of the liquidity has begun to move into the next contract. The ticker symbols for the futures are changing as detailed in the table below.

In general the old contract "expires" on the third Friday of the contract month. So, the existing "H9" contract expires on March 20th and the new "M9" will begin trading. However, the futures "rollover" is the Thursday the week before expiration, so volume should have picked up on the new "M9" contract this week.

Futures trading is NOT subject to FINRA's Pattern Day Trading rule which requires $25,000 minimum equity in a day trading account.

To receive futures quotes, you must subscribe to the exchange that the futures contract trades on.

An investment in futures contracts is speculative, involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons who can assume the risk of loss in excess of their margin deposits. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you and, as a result, can lead to large losses as well as gains. If you purchase or sell a futures contract, you may sustain a total loss of your initial margin funds and any additional funds that you may deposit to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. You should carefully consider whether futures trading is appropriate for you in light of your investment experience and objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
