Future and Option trading?
what is future and option trading? Please provide some details also along with tips.
First get your hand firm on cash market. Once you have aced in it then start learning Futures and Options.
Its very complicated and traders use it to hedge their positions against the equity market to retain their money.
If equity cash market rises the F&O loses and other way arround.
its like you bid 10 bucks for market to rise and you bid 10 bucks for the market to fall. So you don’t lose your money. Limiting the risk this way is called hedging. So stay away and don’t just follow on tips if you want to take a bid hit on your finances.

My son has been diagnosed ppd.He is 7.What are his possible future options? College seems unlikely.?
Does anyone have experience in such matters? He struggles in a regular education setting and special ed is too slow so we adopted a dual approach in his education plan. My husband and I worry about his future. We hope to one day own our own business so he could work for us but who knows when and if that will happen. Is going to trade school his only option? Would there be other educational avenues to pursue? I know he’s young but all the doctors and teachers say only time will tell where he will end up. I’d just like to know where to try starting. I see him being slighty below average intellligence-wise.
It really depends on the extent of it. How severe and treatment options you have been given.
Sign’s of PPD are noticeable as early as 3 years of age. Why was he not diagnosed until 7? Were there no signs before?
If he has been in school there should have been red flags flying all over the place since Kindergarten/Pre-School.
Don’t ever give up on him. There is no reason to put him in a special school unless he is severely PPD. Most public schools are equipped with special education classes for children just like your son. This way they are not sheltered and they experience life to the fullest. Be sure you check out the special education programs offered, meet the teachers, meet with parents of children enrolled and meet the children your child will interact with each day.
It will also be an ongoing process at home as well, 24/7.
Just don’t ever give up and always look beyond what the professionals tell you.

Can somebody explain to me what bonds, futures, options on futures, currency and spot contracts are?
I was thinking of beginning to trade in the near future and just signed up for some practice trading website to teach me. But I have no idea what exactly what futures, opitions on futures etc. are. Can somebody pls explain that to me.
Also, which ones of those are wise to buy?
That’s why I am currently on a stock trading simulation website. I am just unclear about a lot of stuff on there.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your future funds.
THE PHRASE "NEAR FUTURE" ALARMS ME.
(Seriously now, don’t you think it might be considered just a bit, well, CRAZY to invest real money when you have no idea what you are doing? My suggestion: play with the website, find a local investment group, read a few books – if all of this seems too hard – HOW HARD WILL IT BE WHEN YOUR CASH GOES BYE_BYE?)
which smart phone is best for mobile trading?(i.e. stocks, options, fores, future)?
I’m between palm-pre, blackberry Tour, and iphone 3gs. Which one should I choose?
I have the iPhone and love it but the real question has to do with the broker you use and the size of your fingers.
For me with big fingers the iPhone is much easier to use.
what are futures options and what are the rights of holding a call or a put and is it smart to trade options?
futures – a contract to purchase/sell something at a later date for a fixed price
options- the ability to purchase/sell something at a later date for a fixed price
they allow you to lock in the price of a good that you intend to purchase later. they can be used as insurance against price changes in the underlying good.
a call is the right/obligation to purchase, a put is the right/obligation to sell
i would stay away from them unless you need to hedge risk for some reason, or unless you really know what you are doing. there are certain options and futures contracts with unlimited downside potential, i.e. you can lose an infinite amount of money.
I have never Traded (stock/Options /Futures…etc) in my life. Where and how do I start?
I am a complete Novice in the trading business/market. I don’t even know the abs’s of trading. I would greatly appreciate some knowledge and advice. How and where do I begin? Any good books and website suggested? Thank you all in advance.
Not to be insulting, but don’t. Buy mutual funds.
And if you are really sincere, go to college and learn from their finance departments. You can audit classes from many universities for a small fee. You will need the following classes:
1) Calculus I and maybe II
2) Non-linear algebra (matrix algebra to be exact)
3) Statistic I and II (III if they offer it).
4) Micro and Macro Economics (just the first class of each)
5) Every Investing Class they offer
As you can see…its about 30 odd hours to learn the BASICS. To really learn, go after the graduate classes on finance or financial econometrics. Those will teach you in depth how to monitor, pick, select and track every investment vehicle on the planet. Only at the MS or MA level will you be competent enough to pick stocks. Not an insult…but no firm ever lets a BS or BA pick stocks (they are hired as a jr analyst who does reseasrh for the MA or MS who picks).
Lots of work. So just buy mutual funds. And forget the 12 hour days of research to invest smartly.

Are there any good software for options trading in nse?
Futures and options are derivative items of any stock market.
Although i found good softwares for options trading in foreign market, i am unable to find a good software for options trading in NSE (National stock exchange of India).
The software must be comprehensive with analysis tools like premium, discount, Simple Moving Average and particularly with strategies like butterfly, straddle, strangle etc.
It must download real data and give us strategies mentioned.

How are futures/options standardized with amount but stocks arent?
I heard that exchange-traded derivatives like Futures and Options are traded with a set number in each contract, meaning every options or future contract, you can buy a quantity of 100, no more and no less.
How come stocks and bonds are not the same way? How come there is no pre-set limit to how many you can buy once entering a contract?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Yes, you have to buy in sets of 100. I don’t know why.
Stocks are shares of ownership of the company. Value could change.
Bonds are IOUs issued by the company to investors. Each bond agreements sets a fixed interest rate with no chance of change. But since bond rates for new bonds have different interest rates, you can sell your bond to someone else if your interest rate.
Options trading vs. Stock trading – which provides least risk?
What is the procedure for options and stock trading via E-trade or other day trading software. How much money is required to open an account. Is this risky? How does it compare with futures trading. Thank you for your help.
most online brokers have some minimums. they vary. in order to day trade, as i recall you need $25,000 minimum. there is a formula that they used to determine if you are a "pattern day trader". you must follow the rules and have the cash in the account to pay for the trades you make. you get a few strikes and then they will prohibit you from trading your account if you don’t have funds available. do a search on the site of the broker you choose for day trading rules.
Learn before you burn yourself out. Most (and i really mean most) people lose money day trading. You need a discipline that is hard to master. You need to know how and when to take a loss as this is what saves you to trade again in search of the winners. Stop loss orders are very important. And you need to realize that you are trading against professionals who get better executions of orders, have better information and faster access to it. You are also trading against computer programs.
Options are for the most part a highly speculative venture unless you are writing covered calls to try and boost your return on your long positions.
