CFTC Glossary
A Guide to the Language of the Futures Industry
The CFTC Glossary is intended to assist the public in understanding some of the specialized words and phrases used in the futures industry since many of these
terms are not found in standard reference works. The CFTC Glossary is not inclusive, and if you cannot find the term you are looking for or have any other
comments, please let us know.
Definitions are not intended to state or suggest the views of the Commission concerning the legal significance or meaning of any word or term and no definition is
intended to state or suggest the Commissions views concerning any trading strategy or economic theory.
