/MTM Full Form
The full form of MTM is Mark to Market.
If you trade Futures and Options, this is the only number that actually matters at the end of the day. The exchange doesn't wait for you to sell the contract to see if you made money. Instead, it calculates your profit or loss by comparing your entry price to that day's closing price. If your MTM shows a significant loss, your broker will immediately call you to add additional margin funds to your account.
