Transaction

An agreement between a buyer and a seller for the exchange of goods or services for payment.

Notes:

The parties participating in a transaction have an obligation to perform their part. For example, for two parties involved in a futures contract, the seller is obligated to sell and deliver the underlying asset and the buyer is contractually obligated to pay the agreed upon price and accept the delivery.
