I don't have the constitution for that type of trading, as I feel it is too risky. I need to have a strategy I enjoy doing and can be relaxed with it.

So, you can buy a stock and then a futures contract on the same stock to lock in that price? Sorry, that's probably wrong. I definitely wouldn't be speculating on the price of the stock going up and then looking to cash in. Hi Sean,

I don't really know if they are comparable as such. They both work with their own advantages and disadvatages. Hi Rob

Trading a Put Option on a stock can also hedge the price for the future - are the two comparable? Hi Sean,
