Options on futures

A commodity futures option gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a particular futures contract at a future date for a particular price.

If exercised, it results in a futures contract, unless it is settled in cash.

The real risks

Trading commodity futures and options is a volatile, complex and risky venture that is rarely suitable for individual investors.
US CFTC
The purchaser of a put or call risks losing the entire purchase price of the option: the premium plus all transaction costs.
US CFTC
A person should not grant, or write, any commodity option unless able to meet additional calls for margin and to sustain a very large financial loss.
