Trading in derivatives such as futures and options was introduced in the Indian stock exchanges in the year 2000. Initially, futures, and options were only for index. A few years later, futures and options on individual stocks followed suit. Since then, futures, and options have become very popular, and account for the majority of trading on stock exchanges. These tools are handy for investors, and traders, and it is very important to learn how to trade futures and options if you want to get the most out of stock market fluctuations, and a lot more to invest in the stock market. Good idea as returns from equity have outperformed most other assets over the years. Of course, investing in equity and its derivatives carries market risk, so it is always better to proceed with a modicum of caution.
