Traders found that with differences in currencies and accounting systems it would be easier for traders to find a common derivatives market . Nowadays , the main reason for derivatives trading is for speculation and the purpose of hedging , as traders look to profit from the changing prices of the underlying assets , securities or indexes . When a trader is speculating on derivatives , they can make a profit if their buy price is lower than the price of the underlying asset at the end of the futures contract .
