Derivative (Futures & Options) trading involves buying or selling derivative products.
The idea is to hedge portfolio risks and make substantial gains from price volatility
by paying nominal margins. They are called derivatives because they derive their
value from underlying assets like equity, bonds, currency or commodities. To trade
in derivatives, you will need an options or futures trading account.
Why do you need a derivative (Futures & Options) trading account?
- You cannot directly trade in derivatives without opening a derivatives account with
a listed brokerage. Seasoned brokerage houses like Achintya, are trading and clearing
members of NSE f&o segment, and BSE derivatives segment. These members provide a
gateway to the exciting world of derivative market. Currently, your equity trading
account doubles up as a futures (and options) trading account.
- When there is significant exposure in the underlying asset class, you need this
type of account to hedge against market volatility.

trading with the help of a derivative trading account.

months).
