If prices are expected to rise, investors buy a call option, sell a put option, and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Identify the spot price (the current market price of a futures contract) as the base indicator for futures contract pricing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have purchased an options contract, here are the following outcomes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offsetting involves selling the options contract to close the position held before expiry.

They are different from stocks and shares in terms of working and risks involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, futures are contracts with obligations to perform a transaction at a future date. The interested parties mutually agree upon the price of these futures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An underlying financial instrument like stock determines the value of options. Investors have the opportunity to perform transactions at a price that is agreed upon mutually. There are obligations to buy\/sell the asset, and it is solely dependent on how investors choose to trade with them. They can purchase options with a premium, primarily the asset&#8217;s strike price with an expiry date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dissimilarities_between_F_O_Trading\"><\/span>Dissimilarities between F &amp; O Trading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary difference between futures and options is the type of obligations they pose to the investors. Futures are liabilities to investors and require agreeing to contracts. At the same time, options give individuals the right and not a commitment to buy\/sell the underlying assets on a specific date at a predetermined price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individual investors may consider futures a more risky trading instrument because they have maximum liability for buyers and sellers. If the cost of the underlying securities changes, either party must make up for the shift by depositing more funds. In addition, since futures essentially deal with higher amounts, they are riskier than options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different Types of Futures and Options<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the various kinds of futures contracts:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stock_futures\"><\/span>Stock futures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0These allow leveraging while trading on NSE\/BSE. With an initial deposit margin, one can trade amounts many times the margin. Larger transaction values, however, pose more significant risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Index_futures\"><\/span>Index futures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Index futures are crucial instruments to project the future movement of indices like Sensex or Nifty. Traders can calculate gains or losses based on Sensex\/Nifty figures going above\/below the buying price. In addition, these futures help investors to manage their portfolio as the price fluctuates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currency_futures\"><\/span>Currency futures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These enable transactions with foreign exchanges like USD and CHF at a predetermined future date. Like index futures, they help avoid unnecessary price fluctuations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commodity and interest rate futures: These are other types of futures instruments that one can utilise to hedge risk. The former deals with commodities like gold, silver, cotton etc., and their price changes. Since these markets are volatile, initial margins are smaller, but the profit potential is enormous, and so are the risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Interest rate futures are contracts to perform transactions on future dates involving assets like government bonds. Investors can perform commodity exchange on platforms like Multi Commodity Exchange and National Commodity &amp; Derivatives Exchange. In addition, they can invest in interest rate futures on NSE\/BSE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The different types of options are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_option\"><\/span>Call option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows an investor to purchase an underlying asset at a mutually agreed price on a predetermined date.
