We recommend reading this chapter on Varsity to learn more and understand the concepts in-depth.
Key takeaways from this chapter
- The forwards’ contract lays down the essential foundation for a futures contract.
- A Forward is an OTC derivative that is not traded on an exchange.
- Forward contracts are private agreements whose terms vary from one contract to another.
- The structure of a forwards contract is pretty simple.
- In a forward agreement, the party agreeing to buy the asset is called the “Buyer of the Forwards Contract.”
- In a forward agreement, the party agreeing to sell the asset is called the “Seller of the Forwards Contract.”
- A variation in the price would impact both the buyer and the seller of the forwards’ contract.
- Settlement occurs in two ways in a forward contract – Physical and Cash settlement.
- A futures contract reduces the risk of a forward contract.
In futures trading we have to have a directional view of the stock price. Same is in forex trading or binary trading, then why is forex considered as gambling by many? What\’s the difference?
Becuase of the added leverage Aryan.

I was having same confusion. Thanks for the explanation.
Sure, happy learning 🙂
If the price went up, the buyer would be happy, right? Because he is going to get the gold at the contracted price (which is lesser than the current market price of gold) from the seller. And the seller would be unhappy. But the video says the other way.
Or am I missing something here?
Nice videos by the way!!!
Need to check the video, could be a voice typo. But a buyer benefits when price increases and seller benefits if price decreases.
Hi Prateek,
I wanted to know whether the stock prices of Equity shares gets affected due to derivatives or not. If Yes, how does it actually affect.
