Futures are the bedrock of global commodity, currency, and index markets — used by producers, hedgers, and traders to lock in prices and express directional views with capital efficiency. At Alphaforge, we build futures access for traders who want institutional-grade infrastructure without institutional-grade complexity.

Definition

What are futures?

Standardised contracts to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a future date. Settled through a clearinghouse, marked to market daily, and traded on regulated exchanges with deep liquidity.

Alphaforge provides futures execution with continuous contract charts, margin requirement transparency, rollover handling, and contract specifications surfaced clearly before every order.
