FAQ
Unlike Options, Single Stock Options have no "Greek" variables (like Delta or Theta) and no time decay. Single Stock futures offer simplified directional trading and are financially settled.
The main difference is capital efficiency. Instead of paying the full stock price upfront, you only deposit a fraction of the contract's value (margin) to manage the same exposure. You also gain the ability to short without incurring borrowing fees and can trade after-market hours.
Dividends aren’t settled in cash, instead, the exchange adjusts the futures price to reflect the dividend's value. For example, if a stock pays a $25 special dividend, the contract price is adjusted downward by $25, and the cash impact flows automatically through your daily variation margin.
Margin allows you to control a large position with less capital. While this built-in leverage amplifies your potential gains, it also heightens your risk.
Single Stock Futures (SSF) are contracts that track the price of individual stocks (like Apple or Tesla). Each contract typically controls 100 shares, allowing you to gain exposure from upward or downward price movements without actually owning the physical shares.
Single Stock Futures contracts are financially settled. At expiration, no physical shares are ever bought, delivered, or sold. Your open position is automatically closed out, and the net cash difference is credited to or debited from your account balance.
