You may think that single stock futures trading is for the speculative trader, but you can also use them as a tool to protect your existing portfolio.

But trading single stock futures comes with risks. They're geared financial instruments.

So how does gearing with single stock futures work?

How can you use them to exploit moves in the market and protect your portfolio?

And how do you know if you should consider trading single stock futures?

Read on to find out the answers to these questions and much more…

Why single stock futures are risky instruments

Single stock futures are derivatives. This means they derive their value from another asset. In the case of single stock futures, they derive their value from an underlying share.

These derivatives are geared, which comes from trading on margin. It’s this gearing that can potentially multiply your gains (and your losses).
