Futures Magazine is written for traders who use commodity and financial futures, options, stocks and forex markets to make money. The magazine's purpose is to educate traders and advance that knowledge as they grow. There is a focus on analyzing global markets both technically and fundamentally and providing information on price movement, volatility and future trends.
History

The original concept for the publication began with Leon Rose and Mort Baratz, creators of Managed Account Reports. Merrill Oster purchased the newsletter of "Futures" (formerly “Commodities”) and turned it into a magazine that covered mainly the commodity markets. As a farmer, journalist and trader, he combined talents to grow a business that was vertically integrated into the entire futures industry. In 1983, with the growth of financial futures contracts, the magazine’s name was changed to Futures. Highline Media purchased Futures Magazine Group in October 2005.
Since its start the magazine has grown to cover not only the futures markets, but options, forex and stock markets, as well. It is distributed world wide and covers not only all markets, but all geographical centers, with correspondents both in Europe and Asia.
