Futures or Options?

#1
Hi All
I am new to this forum.
I started investing in equity cash from 2005. Due to my commitment and investment of time and money to my education & profession I was almost inactive since 2007 except my investment in Mutual Fund and few scrips lying dormant in my DMAT.

For last few months I again started acquiring knowledge about equity derivatives. This is less related with rise in Nifty-Sensex and more with my spare time and money.


Will any of old TJ member enlighten about - What should be the criteria for a trader before opting for either Futures or Options? :confused:
