Advantages of Futures;
Leverage element: To take a position in the futures markets, it is sufficient to deposit a lower initial margin than the position value. In futures markets, investors have the opportunity to earn leveraged returns from price increases and decreases. In addition, it should be taken into account that the leverage effect carries the risk of losing a lot faster and in large amounts for investors compared to the spot market.
Opportunity to benefit from price decreases: Futures markets offer short selling opportunities. In this way, investors can also take advantage of price decreases by taking short positions.
Portfolio diversification: Futures markets offer different options in terms of portfolio diversification and therefore risk spread.
