Financial Derivatives, Futures and Options - Applied Course

This course takes a Risk Management Approach to Derivatives. And, thus, not ideally suited if you want to explore only Futures/Options Trading & Profit Making. Although, under Options segment, the course covers & evaluates Options Trading Strategies to a fair extent. The course also involves lot of mathematics & number crunching - working on stock prices, derivatives prices, using MS Excel.

This is a beginner to intermediate level course to the world of Derivatives. It can be used as a replacement or as an addendum to the College level courses on Derivatives.

Here you will learn concepts through an application-oriented approach to derivatives. The course works on live as well as historical data available on Derivatives – extracted from National Stock Exchange or NSE website (Stock Futures, Stock Options, Index Futures, Index Options), and Multi Commodity Exchange or MCX website (for Commodity Futures contract). Various excel based exercises and models are used to enhance learning.

The course also covers multiple Derivatives Trading Strategies. However, focus is more around the Derivatives concepts from Hedger’s viewpoint and less from Speculator’s viewpoint, although the course attempts to do justice with both.
