Risks
Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. It is a volatile, complex, and risky business. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should:
- Consider your financial experience, goals, and financial resources and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment.
- Understand commodity futures and option contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts.
- Understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.
- Know who to contact if you have a problem or question.
