    Both are good in their own rights and there are some assets that only offers futures but not options so you sometimes don't have a choice at all.

    Futures is relatively higher risk than options due to its daily settlement and unlimited loss characteristic, which makes going into margin calls very common. Options is relatively lower risk as buying them exposes you only to limited risk, no margin calls, but unlimited profit potential.

    As per Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch, derivatives are the weapons of financial mass destruction.

    They are not for small retail investors.

    SIMPLY AVOID.
