Futures vs Options — what's the difference?

Both are exchange-traded contracts, but they behave differently. Pick the instrument that matches your view and risk appetite.

Futures

A binding contract to buy or sell the underlying at a set price on expiry. Used for directional trades and hedging with margin leverage.

  • Obligation to honour contract
  • Mark-to-market daily
  • Index & stock futures available
  • Higher leverage, higher risk

Options

Right (not obligation) to buy (Call) or sell (Put) at a strike price. Premium paid upfront; buyers have capped loss, writers carry higher risk.

  • CE & PE on indices & stocks
  • Multi-leg strategy capable
  • Weekly & monthly expiries
  • Defined risk for option buyers
