When you win, these rules are what pay you. Every contract's clearing rules are published before it trades, and every settlement lands in one public log anyone can verify.
The same two steps every exchange runs. The difference on Stride is that both happen in the open.
Deciding what a closed trade is owed. The rules that decide it are published before the contract ever trades, so the number is arithmetic, not a judgment call.
The money landing. Every settlement, on every contract, lands in one public log, in order, where anyone can verify it.
Three promises that hold for every derivative contract Stride will ever list. Everything else is each contract's own rulebook, published like everything else.
A contract's clearing and settlement rules are published before it opens for trading. If a rule changes, the change is published too.
Every settlement on every contract lands in the same public log, in full, in order, verifiable by anyone.
When money waits anywhere on Stride, you can see where it is and why. Never an approval, never a review, never silence.
Nothing on this page needs a human's permission. No approvals, no reviews, no support ticket for your own money, and nobody whose mood decides.
Pick a derivative contract to see its clearing and settlement, its rules, its log, its worst days, all on the record.
Margin never enters clearing, it is withdrawable the moment a trade closes. Profit clears against a published settlement reserve, instant when funded, else a public first-in, first-out queue.
Rules publish at listing, on a page like the knockouts one, before the first trade.
