Questions, answered.
A futures contract is a standardised, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell an underlying — an index, stock or commodity — at a fixed price on a set expiry date. It is settled daily via mark-to-market and used for leveraged trading and hedging.
A future obligates both sides to transact at expiry and moves one-for-one with the underlying. An option gives the buyer a right (not an obligation) for a premium. Futures have no strike price; options are organised in an option chain by strike.
Lot size is the fixed quantity of the underlying in one futures contract — for example NIFTY 65, Bank Nifty 30 and Reliance 500. One contract controls Lot Size × price worth of the underlying.
You post a margin — a fraction of the contract value set by the exchange (SPAN + exposure) — rather than the full value, which is what makes futures leveraged. Margins vary by underlying and volatility.
NSE lists three monthly expiries at once — the current (near) month, the next month and the far month. Most trading volume is concentrated in the near-month contract.
Yes. You can view live MCX commodity futures for Gold, Gold Mini, Silver, Silver Mini, Crude Oil, Natural Gas and Copper, alongside index and single-stock futures.
