The Commodity Exchange

 

A commodity exchange is an organization that formulates rules for the trading of commodity futures contracts, provides a place to trade and/or an electronic trading platform and supervises trading practices. Its members are people whose business is trading. The exchange establishes the terms of standardized contracts that are traded subject to Commodity Futures Exchange Commission (CFTC) approval. It also disseminates price and market information and provides the mechanics to
guarantee contract settlement and delivery.

Legal Disclaimer and Risk Disclosure: Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leverages investment, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. All orders are entirely at your risk, and it will be your responsibility to monitor these orders. There are limitations to the protection given by stop loss orders therefore we give no assurance that limit or stop loss orders will be executed, even if the limit price is met, in full or at all.
