Futures & Options Trading Strategies

Futures and options are financial contracts that derive their value from market movements for the underlying index, security, or commodity. Futures contracts obligate the buyer to purchase a specific asset, and the seller to sell and deliver that asset, at a specific future date. On the other hand, an option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or sell) an asset at a specific price at any time during the life of the contract. Trading in futures and options can be beneficial for investors who want to hedge their investments or speculate on market movements.

Futures and options trading can provide several benefits such as:

1. Leverage: Futures and options trading allow investors to trade with leverage, which means they can control a large amount of assets with a relatively small amount of capital.
2. Hedging: Futures and options trading can be used as a hedging tool to protect against potential losses in other investments.
3. Diversification: Futures and options trading can help investors diversify their portfolio by providing exposure to different asset classes.
4. Flexibility: Futures and options trading offer flexibility in terms of contract size, expiration date, and strike price.
5. Liquidity: Futures and options markets are highly liquid, which means that investors can easily enter or exit positions.
