WHY USE A REGULATED FUTURES BROKER?
Going directly to the market has a number of benefits which allow you to create flexible, secure risk management strategies. Financial markets today are heavily regulated allowing all parties to have their deposits protected and any risk of default reduced significantly, the benefits of trading directly onto the market include:
Liquidity
When buying or selling futures and options contracts through a designated exchange, you are able to benefit from pricing and trading opportunities which cannot be gained through OTC or physical contracts. In any markets where there are more participants, ‘Bid’ and ‘Offer’ prices are generally more competitive, therefore allowing the buyer or seller to achieve more favourable prices. Being able to buy and sell contracts with ease, at the click of a button, means that the dynamic strategies which we advise on can be implemented far more efficiently.
Transparency
A lot can be gained from the transparency of trading on the futures markets. The ability to see what price you can trade at and what the person before you traded at, allows a fair and level playing field for all market participants. Our broking partners are able to give detailed insight into the market and order book, allowing accurately timed decision to be made on a continual basis.
Flexibility
Globalised markets allow you to take advantage of opportunities not only domestically, but also globally. Trading opportunites may arise on similar or correlated markets to your own, allowing you to benefit from opportunities which are not so easily available through local, physical markets. Ultimately your grain is bought and sold physically however, the opportunities to add value can be seen well before and long after this physical transaction is made.
