In our day to day life, we sometimes enter into a contract with other people to purchase something on a future date so that we can benefit from the price fluctuations.

Derivates are basically the financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset.

PARTICIPANTS IN THE DERIVATIVE MARKET
Hedgers: These are the investors with a present or anticipated exposure in the underlying assets like share, mutual fund etc which are subject to market risks.

Speculators: They are basically those investors who first take a view whether the price will rise or fall in the future and accordingly buy or sell derivatives to make profits from future price fluctuations.
Arbitragers: They are basically the ones who take a short and long term position in the same or different contracts at the same time to generate a risk less gain or profit.
