Buying Options on Futures Contracts
Although futures contracts have been traded on U.S. exchanges since 1865, options on futures contracts were not introduced until 1982. Today, options on futures contracts offer a wide and diverse range of potentially attractive investment opportunities. This booklet is designed to provide you with a basic understanding of options on futures contracts - what they are, how they work and the opportunities and risks involved in trading them.

Options on Futures
With options on futures, traders can construct strategies that profit in advancing, declining or even stable markets, while at the same time reducing risk and increasing leverage. However, before you incorporate options into your trading and risk management decisions, you should thoroughly investigate the risks, nomenclature and strategic uses of these instruments. The more background you have in options, the more likely you will be able to take full advantage of these powerful financial instruments.

It cross-references each strategy with market sentiment, whether bullish, bearish, or neutral and with volatility, whether rising or falling. For each trade, it details the break-even point, risk and potential gain at expiration as well as "things to watch" along the way. This Guide is a great reference for any trader.
