This means that you need to determine what level of risks you are willing to take and most importantly, what you can really afford to risk and how. Once you decide this, then you need to open an account. In order to do so you need to do business with a brokerage company, which will make all the trading for you. Of course this means that they will execute the trades, but the decision is all yours. You can definitely ask their opinion and advice, depending on the type and business relationship you have with the company, but in any case the final decision is yours.

Brokers will not be able to accept money and securities from you, unless you sign the agreement. You should also consider that the funds you will need to deposit in your individual account, once you open it, should be separated from the capitals that the company has. You need to find ways to recover your money in the case that the company goes bankrupt, so make sure you clarify that at the beginning.
Keep in mind that Futures trading is a complex and complicated task. You need to ensure that you have access to several resources and that you can keep up with the constant changes and updates. Also make sure that you can afford the losses that will occur at the beginning of your trading efforts.
