The Genesis
Futures and Options are basically tools for Hedging in Capital Markets. However, these are frequently used for trading with the intent of making huge profits with little investment. What people fail to understand is that Huge Gains are associated with Huge Risk as well.

The Void

The problem is further compounded when people interested in making trading their profession often take to learning from persons who are not qualified to teach this subject. There is a clear void in availability of structured courses and conceptual knowledge in this field.
