Trading futures is one of the most dangerous yet very rewarding experience in day trading. It involves using a small amount of money from a large capital to perform a trade.
For example: $10 capital
Trade with $1 but use only 10% of a dollar, which is $0.10. Now multiply $0.10 x 10 = $1.
So you made back your initial amount just like that.
However you should do a thorough market research or analysis before placing your trade.
Conclusion:
Trading futures may be risky but if you understand the mechanical aspects of it then it can be a great way to leverage your money.
