Derivatives Concept Plain-Language Explainer

Translates a complex derivatives concept (margin call, futures rollover, options expiration, contango, assignment, etc.) into a clear, jargon-free explanation for retail customers — structured as a one-line definition, plain-language body, concrete everyday analogy, worked numeric example, common misunderstanding, and what-to-do-next guidance. Use when a support rep, educator, or content writer needs to explain a derivatives term to a customer without financial background.
