Uncovered Options Trading System
Credit Derivative: Credit Derivative is an over-the-counter (OTC) derivative designed to assume or shift credit risk, that is, the risk of a credit event such as a default or bankruptcy of a borrower. For example, a lender might use a credit derivative to hedge the risk that a borrower might default or have its credit rating downgraded. Common credit derivatives include credit default options, credit default swaps, credit spread options, downgrade options, and total return swaps.
Default: Default is the failure to perform on a futures contract as required by exchange rules, such as a failure to meet a margin call or to make or take delivery.

Naked options trading is very risky - many people lose money trading them. It is recommended contacting your broker or investment professional to find out about trading risk and margin requirements before getting involved into trading uncovered options.
