  • Publication number: 20100114754
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for listing and trading fixed-payoff derivative contracts between two parties based on the movement of an underlying financial instrument in a manner that eliminates the cost associated with a traditional option premium. The invention, henceforth referred to as a “Win, Lose or Draw” derivative contract, is a cash position for or against the occurrence of a designated price event above an underlying financial instrument's spot price before the occurrence of a designated price event below an underlying financial instrument's spot price, or vice versa, within a designated time period. If neither designated price event occurs within the designated time period, no loss of cash position is incurred by either party. Additional embodiments include the application of asset-backed contracts, transferable positions, multiple underlying financial instruments within the same contract, asymmetric time periods, and expirationless time periods.
