So I’ve traded Forex for around 5 years and became “profitable” about a year ago. I know all the basics of Forex but recently ran into ICT and enjoy the concepts he promotes(not looking for a debate about why he’s good or bad, everybody has their own opinions) and I’ve decided to become more interested in futures instead of Forex, due to the more predictable market patterns creating a larger move in futures compared to Forex pairs. My question is, what do I have to do research on to fully understand what I see. What’s the big difference between the 2?

How is the he Commodity Futures Trading Commission funded?

The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is an independent regulatory agency funded by the United States government. It was created by congress in 1974. I suspect by the nature of your question you might be curious about a common funding misconception in the futures industry. What is often confusing in futures regulation is that there is a second, and in many views quite redundant "Watchdog" agency in Futures known as the National Futures Association. Unlike the CFTC which receives government funding, the NFA funding scheme is "Per Trade." NFA receives a payment from each trade. As of January 1, 2011, the NFA assessment fee, payable by clearing firms (Known as Futures Clearing Merchants in Commodities or FCMs) with respect to futures contracts, is $.02 per side on each lot, invoiced and charged to the customers. The assessment fee on both exchange-traded and dealer options is $.02 per side. The assessment fee for NFA Forex Dealer Members is $0.02 per $10,000 of notional value. The NFA was created in 1982 when volumes were much lower. The result of the payment scheme is that due to larger modern volumes, NFA is awash in cash. Their unique, cash rich funding scheme, their odd market position (self regulatory vs government watch dog), and their clear government granted power over the industry, oft creates confusion to futures outsiders.

Futures and spot prices are parallel?

A futures contract is a exchange traded device where someone can speculate on or hedge price risk regarding a specific commodity, bond market or stock index asset. The contract is a binding agreement of delivery of an asset at a predetermined time in the future. At first futures prices vs. the current price of the underlying asset they represent are not the same due to the time value of future money, market forecast opinion, news, etc. But as the futures contract comes to it's time conclusion it's price starts to closely track the spot or actual cash market price of the asset. In the end they are both at parity as the futures contract ends at the delivery date and thus is then equal to the then current cash market price of the underlying asset.


How are markets classified?

Markets are classified based on various criteria, including the nature of the goods traded (e.g., consumer goods vs. capital goods), the level of competition (e.g., perfect competition vs. monopoly), and the geographical scope (e.g., local, national, or international markets). Additionally, markets can be segmented by the time frame of transactions (e.g., spot markets vs. futures markets) and by the type of participants involved (e.g., primary markets for new issues vs. secondary markets for trading existing securities). Understanding these classifications helps analyze market dynamics and participant behavior.
