Mark-To-Market

An accounting process by which the price of securities held in account are valued each day to reflect the last sale price or market quote if the last sale is outside of the market quote. The result of this process is that the equity in an account is updated daily to properly reflect current security prices.

This is a definition, not a recommendation. Options carry risk and can expire worthless. See how the desk actually trades at TrueTrader.
