In the trading of equity options, the execution of a trade so bad that the
party in need of a fritzer is forced to buy above the market offer or sell below the market bid, usually due to a large stock or volatility move between consummation and execution of the trade. This generally means that the trade cannot be legally executed for some

party taking the Fritzer.
