A future is a financial contract obligating the buyer to purchase an asset (or the seller to sell an asset), such as a physical commodity or a financial instrument, at a predetermined future date and price. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash.
The primary difference between options and futures is that options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset at expiration (or anytime before expiration if the option settlement is "American-style"), while the holder of a futures contract is obligated to fulfill the terms of his/her contract.
Although Mollyflan is correct that futures and options are used in the commodities markets, that is not the only place they are used. There are also options and futures on other things, such as stock indexes. Literally thousands of individual stocks have listed options traded every day.
If you want an introduction to trading options on stocks I suggest you go to the CBOE learning center at

and take their free online tutorials and classes.

Futures and Future Options are investments in the Commodities Market (orange juice, butter, wheat, pork bellies, etc.). They are considered high risk markets but many people have successfully made money in Futures.

the best trading software http://tradingsolution.info
i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.
