Options & Futures

Derivatives are instruments that allow traders to maximise returns and simultaneously enable them to limit losses. Readers will learn about a variety of trading strategies that will allow them to hedge their existing positions, make speculative profits and lock-in fixed arbitrage gains. A distinct feature of this book is that it is written from an Indian perspective, and thus covers many issues regarding futures and options that are specific to the Indian market. An in-depth look at futures & options strategies and information related to accounting and taxation of derivatives is given. Readers are exposed to derivative instruments in the capital market and also interest rate, foreign exchange futures and other derivatives including swaps and FRAs.
