Course 44 of 60 in the forex hub. The object is listed FX futures vs spot as a choice of machine.

IMM Dates, Not Dealer Sundays

IMM Dates, Not Dealer Sundays. The honest one-sentence object of this lesson is listed FX futures vs spot as a choice of machine. If you cannot say that without opening a platform, you will size the wrong clock. The failure mode that actually hurts accounts is spot and 6E as automatic offsets without month and basis. Write the object, then size. Educational only.

Analog, not identity: two machines, one pair story. This page is not a lesson in crypto pairs or listed index futures. Different machine, different hours, different ruin path. Contrast the object with futures hub rather than treating every product as the same machine.

1. What the future is

What the future is is the first working definition. Listed FX futures vs spot as a choice of machine. People skip this because a chart is easier than a specification. A chart is not a spec. If you cannot explain Listed FX Futures vs Spot to a skeptical friend without a screenshot, you do not understand it yet.

Keep a crib note: object, invalidation, dollar cap. Spot and 6e as automatic offsets without month and basis is how cribs get skipped. Do not skip. For the arithmetic habit, use risk calculator until dollars are boring.

2. Hours

Hours. Convert every pretty statement into dollars. The arithmetic below is illustration — live ticks, pips, and margins change. Re-read the live schedule.

Futures tick dollars vs spot pip dollars will not match. Convert both to $254 before you 'hedge' one with the other.

If that arithmetic already exceeds your cap, the lesson is over: pass or step down in size. Passing is a position. Confirm the dollar translation with P&L calculator so the notebook and the statement agree.

3. Roll

Roll. Context is not a trigger. Two machines, one pair story. Use context to veto, not to force a click.

When in doubt, name listed FX futures vs spot as a choice of machine again. If the sentence changed, you changed trades without admitting it. Related structure: free calculators.

4. Basis

Basis. Process beats mood. Write the rule that fires without a debate at the worst moment. If the rule is 'I'll see how I feel,' you do not have a rule.

Stops, flatten policies, and session boundaries belong in the same notebook as the thesis for Listed FX Futures vs Spot. If the stop is a price, convert it with listed venues after you already know the tick or pip.

5. When futures win

When futures win. Limits: this page will age; specs, leverage caps, and dealer rules move. The live document wins. Educational only. Not NFA, tax, or a solicitation.

Re-read primary docs before you add size on the object of Listed FX Futures vs Spot. See also previous lesson when the confusion is the venue layer, not the chart.

6. Mistakes, limits, takeaways

Mistakes: spot and 6E as automatic offsets without month and basis; copying size from a stream; ignoring costs; mixing this machine with crypto pairs or listed index futures. Another: treating Listed FX Futures vs Spot as advanced because the vocabulary is long rather than because the dollar cap is written. If the sister asset class is the real mix-up, next lesson before you add size.

Maps go stale. Two machines, one pair story. If this lesson and the live spec or statement disagree, the live document wins.
