Risk of Loss in Trading Futures. In futures trading, buyers (a party with long position) and sellers (a party with short position) are required to make an initial margin deposit with their futures agent to secure their performance under futures contracts. Since the amount of initial margin is small compared to the contract’s value, a relatively small movement of the market can lead to either large losses or gains within a short period of time. The Client may sustain losses significantly beyond the amount of initial margin deposit it has made or may be called upon by its agent to liquidate its position at a loss should it be unable to provide additional margin funds within a specified period.
