How to trade futures?

Futures trading is a high-risk, high-reward activity; thus, you should have prior trading expertise before starting. To trade futures, you need to pay a margin which is a portion of the total trade amount. However, futures are traded in lots as opposed to stocks in the cash markets. So even if you only pay a portion of the total transaction fee to trade futures, you are still risking a significant amount. Similar to trading in other segments, trading in the futures segment also requires you to understand technical. So if you wish to trade futures, I recommend first getting the hang of trading by trading in the cash markets, as the stakes there are relatively less.
