• DAX FUTURES OPTION
  
  An American option that settles into a DAXâ Futures (q.v.) contract. Payment of the option premium is "futures-style", which means none of it occurs immediately, and a piece of it occurs with each daily mark-to-market. An implication of this is that the "buyer" (really, the "long") may pay no premium and the "seller" (really, the "short") may pay all the premium!
