You must complete an appropriateness assessment before trading.
Control Contract Value Through Leverage
Futures contracts are leveraged instruments, meaning you can control a contract value that is larger than the capital you commit. This increases both your market exposure and your risk; price movements are amplified in both directions. Only capital you can afford to lose should be used for trading.
Leverage also increases the risk associated with futures trading and only risk capital should be used to trade.
