Course Description
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.

I am enjoying the way subject is delivered. Made concept very clear with practical example from real data (NSE/BSE / Money control websites on RIL shares / Ashok Ley land shares ) etc . Also the coverage of fundamental before moving on to examples is excellent. Over all very good lecture on one of the tough topics. Amazing course. Very clear strategy explanation to practice.

Great Learning on Derivatives from Basics to Intermediate level. The applied learning aspect of the course made it even more engaging with all the real time analysis of the data on the Stock Exchange. Totally worth it for someone interested in Finance and Stock Markets.

This is an amazing introductory course! Everything is explained in simple terms with illustrative examples. The voice of the instructor and the calming music make it even more pleasant to learn and create a relaxing atmosphere. I had struggled to understand the topic of derivatives. This course taught me how to understand the basics and the logic behind derivatives in general.

This was a very immersive and interesting course. A lot of self-learning to be done on your own to really understand and put together into practise the concepts and strategies explained. Overall, I enjoyed while learning this course. Highly Recommended!
