What is a futures option?
Hello, futures are the future price of spot, and futures are ahead of spot. Futures exchanges formulate standardized futures contracts for investors to trade, which are divided into commodity futures and financial futures. At present, there are more than 80 futures options listed.

Option is a kind of option, and the option buyer has the right to buy or sell a certain number of underlying contracts from the seller in a certain period of time in the future or when it expires. Options can be physical objects, financial derivatives, virtual goods, etc. For example, soybean meal options and CSI 300 index options can be divided into American options and European options according to when they can be exercised. American options can be exercised at any time within the specified time, while European options can only be exercised at maturity.

Things we usually buy and sell, such as deposits and movie tickets, are all options, which are closely related to our daily life.
