Futures Market Opportunities

The futures market remains active even when other markets slow down, offering nearly 24-hour trading opportunities with significant liquidity. This continuous trading allows investors to capitalize on price movements at any time, as opposed to ETFs, which experience reduced volume and liquidity after standard market hours. For example, while ETF trading ceases at 4 p.m., futures contracts can still be traded, providing more flexibility and options for traders. This access to around-the-clock trading is a crucial advantage for those looking to respond quickly to market changes.
