5.11.2. Close-Outs of Uncompleted OTC Trades

A close-out is a procedure for terminating a trade that has not settled the regular way. There are different kinds of close-outs depending on the type of trade and why it wasn’t completed. For OTC trades, the UPC specifies how and when a close-out may be performed. Close-outs for exchange trades are governed by the SEC’s Regulation SHO, which is discussed later in the chapter.

There are two kinds of close-outs for OTC trades. A close-out performed by a buyer because of a fail-to-deliver by the seller is called a buy-in. The buyer must first provide the seller a written or electronic notice that it intends to do a buy-in. Assuming a re

I took another vendors 24 course but it did not compare to how Solomon Exam Prep for Series 24 prepared me. The material and practice exams, especially the timed exams, were broken up by sections, similar to the FINRA Exam. This really helped in allowing me to understand which section(s) I needed to spend more time on/hit harder. Thank you Solomon!!!

3rd time is a charm and it took Solomon to do it. None of the other materials in my first two attempts were strong enough to enable me to reason my way to the correct answers. Solomon's angle on this material was closest to the actual test and was the reason I got there.

As an aside, the ongoing personal help was very surprising and commendable. Thank you, Solomon!

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.

I really liked the Solomon study materials. They did a really nice job of explaining the material in plain language. I have a really long commute and the audio books came in really handy!! I would recommend the Solomon study materials!

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.
