What is a derivatives trading account?
Derivatives trading (Futures & Options) 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 F&O account.

Seasoned brokerage houses like Angel One, 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.

What is an options and futures contract?
Though both futures and options are derivatives of underlying asset classes, they’re different. The primary one being, an option is a right (and NOT an obligation) to buy or sell an underlying asset, at pre-determined prices. A futures contract, on the other hand, is an obligation on the part of buyers and sellers to execute the trade at pre-decided prices on the date mutually agreed.
Example of futures trading
For instance, you buy one-month equity contracts of ABC Company with your futures account at Rs.400 per share. On the contract expiry date, if the share price goes up to Rs. 450, you end up making a decent profit.
