Futures and options are stock derivatives that are traded in the share market and are a type of contract between two parties for trading a stock or index at a specific price or level at a future date. By specifying the price of the trade, these twin derivatives safeguard the investor against future fluctuations in the stock market. However, the actual futures and options trade is often far more complex and fast-moving.
Right vs. Obligation: Futures represent a commitment to trade that must be squared off at the specified date. Whereas options give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the contract.
For example, say you buy stocks worth INR 100,000 in the futures market with a 20% margin (i.e. INR 20,000 in this example). To execute this contract, you have to keep INR 20,000 with your broker. If the stock goes up 10%, you have made a INR 10,000 profit while putting up only INR 20,000. Therefore, your profit margin is 50% and not 10% like it would have been if you actually bought the stock. The flip side, of course, is that the same logic applies to your losses. Further, if your losses deepen, you may be required to post additional margin.
Futures and options trading requires an understanding of the nuances of the stock market and a commitment to track the market. There is also a strong element of speculation. Hence, it is most often used by hedgers or speculators.
Some of the markets where futures and options trading is most common are the commodities exchanges such as National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) and Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The reason for heavy derivative trading in commodities is the high volatility of these markets. The prices of commodities can fluctuate wildly and futures and options allow traders to safeguard against a future fall.
At the same time, it also allows speculators to profit from commodities that are expected to spike in the future. While futures and options trading in the stock market is not uncommon for the average investor, commodity training requires a tad more expertise.
Futures and options assets are heavily leveraged with futures usually seeing a harder sell than options. You are more likely to hear about the profit you can make in the future by fixing an advantageous price. What you are less likely to hear is that the margins can work both ways. You may be forced to sell at less than the market price or buy at more than the market price.
In other words, your likelihood to make a profit is theoretically as good as the likelihood to make a loss. While options may seem like the safer option, as discussed above, you are far more likely to defer trade and lose the premium value, hence, making a net loss.
While it may seem that we are hedging our bets and ensuring healthy margins on a futures and options trade, you must keep in mind that these margins are themselves subject to the movement of the market. In a volatile market, if your trade is making a large notional loss, you will be required to post higher margin quickly, else risk the broker squaring off your trade and losing your existing margin.
Future and options are often seen as more mysterious cousins of equity trade. These are fast-moving trades where the margin can fluctuate daily. Unlike equity, which attracts long-term investors, futures and options are meant for traders who are looking for quick returns. If managed in a planned manner, they allow you to protect yourself from a volatile market, while slowly increasing your gains.
Trading futures and options is not rocket science, but it does need a level of understanding before you dive in. It can be a great tool to hedge your bets and save you from market volatility. Alternatively, as a speculator it can be a medium to play the volatility to make outsized returns, but that approach comes with its own substantial risks.

One of the key concepts in understanding futures trading is that, as leveraged investments, a relatively small amount of capital is used to control a much larger contract amount. While this leverage provides a highly efficient use of capital, it is also a double-edged sword, potentially amplifying losses far beyond the amount originally invested.
In order to help protect against substantial loss, plan your futures trades carefully before you establish a position in the market. Identify both a profit objective and an exit plan, should the trade go against you.
Regardless of your trading objective, you'll need a brokerage account that's approved to trade futures in order to proceed with any strategy involving futures. Talk to a Schwab specialist at 888-245-6864 to learn more.
With your futures position established and protective orders in place to help manage your risk, it still pays to be diligent and prepared to reevaluate your exit strategy or take an action, depending on how the market moves.

The Trade Calculator provides calculations that are hypothetical in nature and do not reflect actual investment results, or guarantee future results. The calculations do not consider commissions or other costs, and do not consider other positions in your account(s) for which this specific trade is taking place. Rather, these values are based solely on the individual contract or pair of contracts in this specific trade. In addition, the calculations do not consider the specific date of dividend, early assignment, and other risks associated with futures trading. Options which expire before the estimated dates have calculated values based on underlying prices as of the estimated dates, as if option is expiring on the estimated date. Investment decisions should not be made based solely upon values generated by the Trade & Probability Calculator.

Options on futures are not suitable for all clients and the risk of loss in trading futures and options on futures could be substantial. Additionally some options expire prior to the final settlement or expiration of the underlying futures contract. Option writing as an investment is absolutely inappropriate for anyone who does not fully understand the nature and extent of the risks involved and who cannot afford the possibility of a potentially unlimited loss. It is also possible in a market where prices are changing rapidly that an option writer may have no ability to control the extent of losses. 59ce067264
