Futures and options are derivative contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset like stocks, commodities, and curriencies. F&O trading involves trading these derivative contracts with the aim of speculating and generating profits. You could use a platform like Options Trade by Dhan to begin F&O trading in India.

F&O trading involves margin and leverage, two features that allow you to do more with less but at the same time, carry a higher potential downside. That said, you could begin F&O trading with as little as a few thousand rupees in India, based on the F&O lot size.

Successful is a subjective term but there are popular f&o trading strategies that are used around the world, some of which are:

• Straddle
• Strangle
• Bull Call
• Bear Put
• Butterfly Spread
• Iron Condor

These strategies are readily available on Options Trader by Dhan with a powerful feature known as "Pre-Built Options Strategies".

A margin benefit allows you to trade more by either pledging your existing holdings or by trading on leverage. Traditionally, margin benefits were only extended to options selling. However, Options Trader by Dhan allows you to access margin benefits on options buying and selling!

A successful options trader must have a strategy for trading options as well as a solid risk management system in place to minimize the downside. Given that’s the case, Options Trader by Dhan helps you access a complete set of tools required for trading options like:

• Pre-Built Strategies
• Custom Strategy Builder
• Instant Pledge Benefit
• Margin on Option Buying
