   What are options & futures?

   • Options and futures are two types of derivatives contracts that derive their value from market movements for the underlying index, security or commodity. An option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or sell) an asset at a specific price at any time during the life of the contract.

   What is the difference between stock options and futures?

   • The key difference between futures and stock options is the change in underlying value represented by changes in the stock option price.

Using the example of e-mini S&P 500 futures, a $1 change in price is worth $50 for each contract bought.

   How do futures & options work if a contract expires?

   • For futures, you’d settle the difference between the contract's opening and closing price at expiry. For options, if held to expiry, the profit or loss is determined by the difference between the underlying asset's price at expiry and the option's strike price, not the opening and closing prices of the option itself.
