    Series

    96-NOV-2000

    Contract

    15

    Deal Type

    Long

    Where the Long holder, for each long contract held, has the right to sell hundred units of the T-bill. Consequently, a deal involving 15 Contracts translates to 1500 (15 x 100) units of the T-bill involved in the trade.

    For Premium/Future Price instance, let us assume that you are capturing the details of a commodity Option. The commodity involved in the instrument is Wheat and the Option Premium is quoted in the market in terms of kilograms.

    Accordingly you have priced the instrument as described in the below table.

    Table 6-10 Field Value

    Field Value

    Instrument Pricing Size

    1

    Instrument Pricing Size Unit

    Kilo-grams

    The system calculates and displays the Deal Value of the contract in the adjacent field, based on your entry in this field. The Deal Value is calculated in the following manner:

    Example: Futures Price/Option Premium X Number of Contracts X Instrument Pricing Multiple

    You are capturing the details of a Short type of deal with the following details:

    Table 6-11 Field Value

    Field Value

    Instrument Pricing Size

    1

    Instrument Pricing Size Unit

    Kilo-grams

    The Instrument Details, which will be taken into account for processing, are:

    • The Contract Size – 10 Kilograms.
    • The Asset Currency - USD.
    • The Pricing Currency - USD.
    • The Pricing Multiple = 10.

    Since the Number of Contracts involved is 12, the quantity of the actual commodity involved in the trade will be calculated as follows:

    12 (Number of Contracts) X10 (Contract Size) = 120 KGs.

    The Option Premium is 0.25 USD Per Kilogram. Therefore the Deal Value will be calculated as follows:

    0.25 (Option Premium) X 12 (Number of Contracts) X 10 (Pricing Multiple).

    The Deal Value will be displayed as 30 USD
