Series 3 Margin, Settlement, Orders, and Price Analysis Guide
Study Series 3 margin requirements, daily settlement, options premiums, price limits, order types, delivery, EFPs, and price analysis.
This Series 3 chapter covers Part 1B of the market-knowledge outline: margin, daily settlement, options premium, price limits, offsets, delivery, order behavior, electronic execution, and price analysis. Treat it as the operating layer between basic futures vocabulary and the later hedge, spread, and options strategy material.
The strongest candidates separate performance-bond margin from option premium, understand daily mark-to-market cash flows, know how order types behave under fast or locked markets, and connect price analysis to the market being traded.
