Trade futures at a fraction of the cost with micro futures

Micro futures, including Micro WTI Crude Oil futures, are now available. They provide a lower cost of entry with lower margin requirements, which may help you diversify your portfolio with greater flexibility. If you haven't traded futures before, they could be a way to break into the market without breaking the bank. As a reminder, micro futures are not suitable for everyone and have the same risks as the classic contracts.

Three reasons to trade futures at TD Ameritrade


  • Transparency

    Futures trading is conducted in a centralised open market where all participants can see trades, quotes, and rates.


  • Products

    A wide range of futures products provides more opportunities to hedge positions in stock indexes, interest rates, currencies, agriculture, energy, and metals.


  • Risk

    The broker is simply the intermediary in the futures market, with the CME Group clearinghouse standing at the centre of every futures trade, whereas the CFD broker is the counterparty.

Platforms that help you trade futures nearly 24/6

With our elite trading platform thinkorswim, and its companions thinkorswim Web and the thinkorswim Mobile app, you can trade futures where and how you like with seamless integration between your devices.
