Since the 1980s, the popularity of derivative trading has risen, and derivatives may now be traded on different financial markets, including stocks, currencies, and commodities, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios. Derivative trading is when traders bet on an asset's future price action by purchasing or selling derivative contracts, with the goal of generating more profits than if they bought the underlying asset directly in the future.

Price action, to put it simply, is a trading strategy that makes it possible for a trader to scan the market and make subjective trading decisions that are based on recent and real price movements rather than depending exclusively on technical indicators. Traders can trade different types of derivative products, each with substantial distinctions in terms of features, risks, and advantages.
