Options and futures are both financial products investors can use to make money or to hedge current investments. Both an option and a future allow an investor to buy an investment at a specific price by a specific date. But the markets for these two products are very different in how they work and how risky they are to the investor.
If you want to trade in this segment, it is very important that you understand them from the basics. People come to this segment with just hear and say information. They trade because investment required is less but they don’t understand the risk is unlimited in this segment.
