After legally-binding trade between a buyer and a seller, the role of the clearing house is to centralize and standardize all of the steps leading up to the settlement of the transaction. The purpose is to reduce the cost, settlement risk and operational risk of clearing and settling multiple transactions among multiple parties.
In addition to the above services, central counterparty clearing (CCP) takes on counterparty risk by stepping in between the original buyer and seller of a financial contract, such as a derivative. The role of the CCP is to perform the obligations under the contract agreed between the two counterparties, thereby removing the counterparty risk the parties of the contract had to each other and replacing it with counterparty risk to a highly regulated central counterparty that specializes in managing and mitigating counterparty risk.

What is the difference between the ccp that clears OTC derivatives and the clearing house that settles exchange traded derivatives? Are they two separate entities ? Do they bear different risks?

Hey thank you for such as content, What I have understand that the clearing house takes the opposite direction of each contract have cleared, it goes long when a member goes short and goes short when a members goes long! it takes the counterparty of each transaction to avoid the counterparty risk of default. great! but do clearing house take losses! suppose that there are more long contract than the shorted one and the market participant were right?

So the clearinghouse is where the market margin is kept? Is it held there?
