What Is the Benefit of Daily Cash Settlement for the Overall Market Stability?

Daily cash settlement through MTM enhances market stability by preventing the accumulation of massive, unmanageable losses. By settling gains and losses daily, the system reduces the likelihood of a major default by any single participant.

It ensures that the clearing house's exposure to any trader remains small and manageable, thus protecting the integrity of the entire market.
