Target Trading makes no warranty, express or implied, that Bid Prices and Ask Prices represent prevailing bid prices and ask prices.

See Section 11-Charges.

In liquidation of Customer’s Long Positions and Short Positions, Target Trading may, in its sole discretion, offset in the same settlement or it may initiate new Long Positions or Short Positions in order to establish a spread or straddle that in Target Trading sole judgment may be advisable to protect or reduce existing positions in Customer’s account.
