What a futures contract is
A futures contract fixes a price today for something settled later. That simple idea sits behind one of the most actively traded kinds of market.
Every trade follows a rule we wrote first.
Seadon & Jones trades US index, metals and other asset futures with its own capital, through automated systems.

Written rules, run by software, improved continually.
Written rules
Each strategy is a set of written rules: when to enter, when to exit and how much to trade.
Automated
Software follows the rules and places the trades, the same way every time.
US futures
Index futures, metals futures and futures on other US assets.
Short-term and swing
Some trades open and close within a session. Swing trades can stay open for several days.
Researched and tested
Strategies are researched and tested before they run, and improved continually once they do.
We build the software we trade with.
Developing our own technology is one of the reasons Seadon & Jones exists. Our systems carry out written rules automatically, and every change is tested before it runs.
Long-time friends. One taught the other to trade.
