Disclaimer: Trading futures and options involves the risk of loss. You should consider carefully whether futures or options are appropriate to your financial situation. Only risk capital should be used when trading futures or options. Investors could lose more than their initial investment. The lower the day trade margin the higher the leverage and riskier the trade. Leverage can work for you as well as against you — it magnifies gains as well as losses. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Low rates are for online trading clients only. Other brokerage fees may apply to certain platforms.
