About Course

Most people have the notion that earning in the stock market is sheer luck. But, very few know the difference between investing and trading. If you are trading then basically you are betting on the share price and that is where luck comes into play. In investing, you keep shares for a longer period, maybe upto a decade but you need luck when you are trading. But before trading and hoping for luck, you need to get your basics right? For trading, you need to know the basics of derivatives. But, what are derivatives? What are the terminologies that you should know before trading? What things should you know before entering into the derivative segment of the stock market?

 

This course will highlight the introduction of the derivatives market, what futures are, types of futures contracts, options and options strategies. The returns from trading in derivatives can be very attractive, but they also come with a higher risk as these instruments are based on leverage which means you do not have to pay full amount on your purchase but have to settle the account at the end of the day. So, there are a few chances of high profits but there are very high chances of huge losses.

He’s the Co-founder & CEO at ConTeTra, Corporate Finance Trainer, Author, Finance Mentor for SMEs & Startups and a VAT & GST Expert. Man! He is an amazing mentor!
