what is future option trading ?

A 'Future' is a contract to buy or sell the underlying asset for a specific price at a pre-determined time. If you buy a futures contract, it means that you promise to pay the price of the asset at a specified time. If you sell a future, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time.

Option is a financial instrument that is used to decrease( or increase- eg speculation) risk in the investments. It gives the 'buyer' of the option right but not obligation to buy (call option) or sell(put option) an asset on a particular previously decided date(eg european type option) or any date before expiry date (eg american type option).
