About this skill

Problem Solved

Futures questions often span several layers: whether terminology is accurate, whether contract specs are correct, how T+0 and margin affect forced liquidation, how to read basis and open interest, and where hedging differs from arbitrage. This skill limits answers to explanations, reference lookup, and risk reminders, rather than turning educational content into trading advice.

Core Behavior and Workflow

  • Classify first: route the question into terms, product data, mechanics, market reading, risk/positioning, or strategy basics.
  • Use references: prefer references/glossary.md, references/products.md, references/pricing.md, and references/risk.md.
  • Constrain claims: ground concepts in specific products or examples; avoid relying on memorized real-time margin, price limits, or position limits; direct users to exchange websites or market data sources when data is missing.

Scope and Limits

Best for concept breakdowns, contract specifications, mechanics, and risk reminders; not suitable for buy/sell direction, live quotes, position orders, or investment advisory. Option-related questions route to the options skill.

Use Cases

  • Prepare training slides by generating definitions and confusable points for long, short, margin, and forced liquidation.
  • Answer junior staff questions by summarizing multiplier, trading hours, and last trading day for rebar and soybean meal.
  • Write a risk-manual section listing forced liquidation, loss beyond margin, position limits, and price limits, and warn against using open interest alone.
  • Explain hedging by breaking down steel price locking, cash-futures arbitrage, and inter-commodity arbitrage, while noting it is not a trade order.

Best For

  • Futures training facilitators who need teachable examples for long, short, margin, and forced liquidation.
  • Compliance writers for futures research teams who need contract specs, mechanics, and risk disclaimers without directional advice.
  • Client-education specialists for futures service teams who need to explain basis, open interest, and term structure while pointing to exchange sites.
  • Quant beginners learning trading rules who want to distinguish T+0, margin, liquidation lines, hedging, and arbitrage.
