Diversification: Access a wide array of investments including oil and energy, gold and other metals, interest rates, indexes, grains, livestock, and more.
After Hours Market: Futures markets trade at many different times of the day. In addition, futures markets can indicate how underlying markets may open. For example, stock index futures will likely tell traders whether the stock market may open up or down.
Liquidity: The futures market is very active with a large amount of trading, especially in the high-volume contracts. This makes it’s easier to get in and out of trades.
