F&O · level 1
Futures & Options — Basics
Understand how F&O work without the jargon — and, crucially, where the real risks sit.
About this course
Options can multiply both gains and losses, so we teach them carefully and honestly. This basics course exists so you understand the instrument — and its dangers — before you ever trade it. There are no tips and no promises here, only understanding.
9 out of 10 individual traders in the equity Futures & Options segment incur net losses. That is exactly why every iTooTrade programme puts capital protection and discipline ahead of strategy.
