FUTURE VS OPTION


Here we attempt to explain basic difference between Future and Option Contracts

Premium


While you pay a fee called the "premium" when buying stock options, there are no premiums to be paid in a futures contract. The initial amount of money (known as "Initial Margin") paid when you buy a futures contract is a fraction of the price paid for the underlying stock. While wrinting options you receive premium.


Obligations

Buyers of stock options are not obligated to exercise the rights to buy the underlying stock at all while buyers of futures contracts  or option writers are obligated  settle difference with cash market and pay mark to mark daily.
Liability

Buyers of futures contracts  and option writers are exposed to unlimited liability should prices move against them while buyers of stock options lose only the amount of money used to purchase those stock options.
Expiration

Buyers of futures contracts can carry forward  their position by selling current month contract and buying next month or vice versa. Options expire worthless if the options are out of the money.


Versatility

Options trading is a lot more versatile than futures trading as the unique combination of call options and put options along with the premium on each contract made it possible for options strategies that profit in all directions. Apart from arbitraging, futures trading is basically single directional (you make money only when price moves in one direction).

By now, it should be clear that futures and stock options trading are two totally different things with their own trading characteristics. Futures trading is an important risk management and speculative technique while options trading has evolved to become a stand-alone strategic investment. Futures should never be made a replacement for stock options trading and stock options trading cannot replace Futures as well. Both trading instruments serves different purposes and should find their place in every well diversified portfolio.

OPTION TRADING VS.STOCK CASH


Many traders now a day intend to shift from cash market to option market ,here is a comparison made to make it easy for them.

What is an option?
An option is a contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset (a stock or index) at a specific price on or before a certain date.
An option is a derivative. That is, its value is derived from something else. In the case of a stock option, its value is based on the underlying stock (equity). In the case of an index option, its value is based on the underlying index (equity).

An option is a security, just like a stock or bond, and constitutes a binding contract with strictly defined terms and properties.

Options vs. Stocks


Similarities:
1) Listed Options are securities, just like stocks.
2) Options trade like stocks, with buyers making bids and sellers making offers.
3) Options are actively traded in a listed market, just like stocks. They can be bought and sold just like any other security.
Differences:
1) Options are derivatives, unlike stocks (i.e, options derive their value from something else, the underlying security
2) Options have expiration dates, while stocks do not.
3)There is not a fixed number of options, as there are with stock shares available.
4)Stockowners have a share of the company, with voting and dividend rights. Options convey no such rights.
