Expiry of Options |
On the expiry date, if the series is Out of the Money, the system will process an automatic expiry for the series. Similarly, if the series is In the Money, an automatic exercise/assignment of options event will be processed. The system also calculates the expiry loss or gain depending on whether it is a long or short deal. The respective accounting entries are also booked. |
Expiry of Futures |
In the case of futures, on the expiry date, the system automatically exchanges futures for physicals. Note: While exercising and assigning options, or during the expiry of options, and futures only the price differential (that is, the Exercise Gain or the Loss) will be processed by the ETD module. |
For options, the price differential is the difference between the spot price of the underlying asset and the strike price of the instrument. For futures, the price differential is calculated as the difference between the spot price of the underlying asset and the acquisition price of the instrument.
