Options and Futures Trading

Options and futures are financial contracts used for buying or selling assets later. An option gives the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a set price before a certain date—like a security that can be purchased or sold if you choose. Futures are binding agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific future date, obligating both parties. Both tools are used to hedge risks or speculate on price movements, offering flexibility and leverage in financial markets.
