Can I use futures along with options in a strategy?

Yes. FYERS allows you to use futures along with options while creating a strategy in Options Strategy Builder. This means you can include both futures and option legs in the same strategy.

This is useful when you want to take a futures leg and use options alongside it to manage risk or adjust your overall exposure.

How futures and options can be combined

When creating a strategy, you can add futures and option legs together for the same underlying. For example, you can combine an index future with call or put options, or use futures as part of a hedged options strategy.

All added legs—both futures and options—are shown together in the strategy view before execution.

Analysing strategies with futures and options

Options Strategy Builder provides a combined view of the strategy analytics when futures are included. This includes payoff charts, profit and loss, margin requirement, and charges for the entire strategy.

This allows you to understand how the futures leg impacts the overall risk and payoff of the strategy before placing any orders.

Execution of strategies with futures

When you execute a strategy that includes futures and options, all legs are placed together through the order window. This ensures coordinated execution instead of placing separate orders for futures and options individually.

Availability

The ability to combine futures and options in a strategy is available on both FYERS Web and FYERS App within Options Strategy Builder.






Notes

  • Futures and options added to a strategy must belong to the same underlying.
  • Margin requirements may be higher when futures are included in a strategy.
