futures and forwards can get rather confusing... OP, you might want to read into it first. get a grasp on arbitrage pricing theories, put-call relationships, etc. it's all theory, but it will give you the pricing relationships you need to know. otherwise it could get very risky and probability of losing can get high.

in particular, look into arbitrage, put-call parity, backwardation, contago, cash-and-carry (and reverse cash-and-carry), and the various structure strategies.
