Energy transport to be noted on local exchanges
- When you think about the energy sector you probably first think of oil and gas. But just as there is more between heaven and earth, the energy market also comprises far more than just oil and gas. Coal, for instance, is also a very important product.

Dealing with cross margins
- Futures are derivatives. One of the advantages of these products is the leverage. You don't have to invest an amount of money equal to the underlying value, instead, when you initiate a transaction in futures, you only have to pay an initial margin.

How to make a million!
- Who doesn't want to be millionaire? Tell me, honestly, have you never wondered how you could achieve such status? Money attracts, gold and silver grab our attention because of their shining-star quality, and diamonds sparkle and reflect our status. We love it, we find it irresistible and we are constantly searching for the 'how'.

Making money as a contrarian
- When you are a trader in financial markets, you can profit either by riding the waves or by acting as a contrarian trader or investor. Riding the waves means that you go with the flow. Your opening transaction is one that is in line with the trend. When the market tends up, your first trade will be a buy and you will therefore have a 'long' position.

Profit on currency futures
- Trading in currencies, FOREX-trading, is the most developed segment of the financial markets. Volumes are much higher than those regarding equities. The daily average international foreign exchange trading volume was US$ 1.9 trillion in April 2004 as per Bank of International Settlements.
