Whois & Analysis for tradovate.com

In economics, a commodity is a marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs.

Often the item is fungible.

Economic commodities comprise goods and services.

In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized forward contract which can be easily traded between parties other than the two initial parties to the contract.

The parties initially agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed upon today (the forward price), with delivery and payment occurring at a future point, the delivery date.

Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product.

In finance, an option is a contract which gives the buyer (the owner or holder of the option) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset or instrument at a specific strike price on a specified date, depending on the form of the option.

The strike price may be set by reference to the spot price (market price) of the underlying security or commodity on the day an option is taken out, or it may be fixed at a discount or at a premium.

The seller has the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction – to sell or buy – if the buyer (owner) "exercises" the option.

An option that conveys to the owner the right to buy at a specific price is referred to as a call; an option that conveys the right of the owner to sell at a specific price is referred to as a put.

Both are commonly used in and by the old traded, but the call option is more frequently discussed.

Trade, or commerce, involves the transfer of goods and/or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money.

A network that allows trade is called a market.

An interest rate, is the amount of interest due per period, as a proportion of the amount lent, deposited or borrowed (called the principal sum).

The total interest on an amount lent or borrowed depends on the principal sum, the interest rate, the compounding frequency, and the length of time over which it is lent, deposited or borrowed.
