About this ebook

"There are very few opportunities for making very large gains in relation to the money you put up. Futures and options is one of them." says financial markets guru, Ashu Dutt.

"With a small percentage of the price as down payment, you get the same price movements as the stock — but the 'big deal' is that the returns you make are multiples of what you would make if you owned the stock. Even better — returns come fast when you trade in futures and options."

In this book, Ashu reveals time-tested strategies that successful futures and options traders use but won’t tell you, proven methods that can make you a fortune. Find out:

● Why you must trade futures and options (F&Os)

● How you can make money in both rising and falling markets

● When to trade futures; when it's best to use options 

● How to profit in different market conditions using F&Os

● Why the cardinal rule in trading F&Os is to take losses as quickly as possible
