Disclosure Document

Although the term can be used more generally, it usually refers to a booklet published by the Options Clearing Corporation. This disclosure document outlines the risks associated with various kinds of options trading and various options positions. It must be given to option clients at or before the time their account is approved for option trading.

For a fuller discussion of the importance of disclosure, see "Key Risk Concepts: Accounting & Disclosure."
