I hope that "futures" and "options" will be in my portfolios in future. My study habit is starting from what I am familiar.
I actually saw all of your base strategies. That was the reason for guessing "multiplier". Does ETFs apply the same setup as stocks? I ask this since I didn't see a method "ContractFactory.makeETFContract". So I understand "expiration" is applicable to futures and options, but I couldn't understand "margin" is not applicable to stocks and ETFs. Isn't this "margin" the margin in "margin account"?
