Traders do not trade with one firm and do not have to worry about the creditworthiness of the party that may be on the other side of the trade. In futures trading, the exchange’s clearing orga- nization is actually the counter-party to every trade, setting rules and policies to preserve the integrity of futures markets and provide a verified record of all trading activity that can be audited, if necessary. To date, no trader has ever lost money in futures due to counter-party default. 3 The underlying cause of price movement in any market is fundamen- tals—those factors that affect the basic value of that market.

Such events can cause volatile market action that may influence how traders implement their trading strategy. Knowing about the possibil- ity of potential adverse volatile movement as a result of some funda- mental factor might, for instance, affect when to place a trade, what type of order to place, or whether to trade that day at all.
