Options and Futures

Holder

An investor who holds the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price is known as the option holder. In the world of finance, this party is also referred to as the "long" position. Additionally, when engaging in futures contracts, traders are required to provide an initial performance bond, or initial margin. This serves as a form of collateral, ensuring the proper execution of the contract and mitigating risk.
