The Markets

Every contract family runs on its own rules. Crude has a delivery point, Treasuries are quoted in 32nds, and VIX settles to a number you can't buy. You'll go through all seven families, their report days and their quote conventions. Twelve lessons, and the last one asks you to pick the right contract for the job.

Stage 61 of the TradeWize futures track: each contract family on its own rules. Index, rates, crude, natural gas, metals, grains, FX and VIX futures, the COT report, seasonality, and picking the right contract for the job.

What you’ll leave with12 lessons · 5-line playbook
  • Every contract settles, trades and halts on its own rules, and I read its sheet before its chart.
  • A Treasury future is quoted in 32nds, and up in price means down in yield.
  • Crude has a delivery point and a report day, and both are on my calendar.
  • VIX futures settle to a number I cannot buy, and the curve is the trade.
  • The COT tells me who is positioned, not when they are wrong.
