notice day Finance Definition
The
day that begins the process of notifying futures traders that they will have to
fulfill the terms of their futures contracts. In the futures market, if a
contract is not closed out by the notice day, the holder will receive a notice.
At this point, the clearing corporation that settles trades must match the
buyer with the oldest long (the
person who has held the contract the longest) or another trader who is randomly
chosen by another method. Both parties to the transaction are notified.
