A GLOSSARY OF AVAILABLE COLUMNS IN OVRA 1 Aug, 2011

Page 2: BB Options Tutorial1

Glossary The following is a list of available columns (fields) in OVRA and the description of each field. % Delta The % Delta shows the change in the price of the the options with respect to the change in the underlying spot price. Users could choose the preferred model to calculate the spot delta, and choose to include or exclude premium discounted to the pricing currency pair spot date. The delta is expressed as a percentage of the currency notional. The preferred model can be seen by displaying the MODEL column. Whether premium is included or excluded can be determined by displaying the PREM IN DELTA column and is controlled by a setting in OVML > 94)Settings > 11) Trade Parameters. Note that this is always interpreted in terms of the standard market quote order for the currency pair even if the trade was entered using an inverted currency pair. % Fwd Delta The % Fwd Delta shows the change in the price of the the options with respect to the change in the underlying forward outright price. Users could choose the preferred model to calculate the forward delta, and choose to include or exclude premium (undiscounted) to the pricing currency pair spot date. The delta is expressed as a percentage of the currency notional. The preferred model can be seen by displaying the MODEL column. Whether premium is included or excluded can be determined by displaying the PREM IN DELTA column and is controlled by a setting in OVML > 94)Settings > 11) Trade Parameters. Note that this is always interpreted in terms of the standard market quote order for the currency pair even if the trade was entered using an inverted currency pair. 1 Day P/L Ccy1 1 Day P/L Ccy1 is calculated as the difference in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the previous weekday, expressed in currency 1. Weekday is defined as Monday to Friday, regardless if it is a public holiday; i.e. when you run 1 Day P/L on Tues, it will always compare the difference between Tues and Monday, even if Monday happens to be a holiday.

Page 3: BB Options Tutorial1

Currency 1 is the left hand (first) currency of a currency pair e.g. Usd will be Ccy 1 in Usd/Jpy. We calculate this by loading the market data for the previous day (at the close of day as per the setting in XDF<GO>) and revaluing the P/L. Currently three local closing times are available in XDF and they are New York 17:00, London 18:00 and Tokyo 20:00. For new trades the 1 DAY P/L is the same as the P/L (See below for P/L). 1 Day P/L Ccy2 1 Day P/L Ccy2 is calculated as the difference in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the previous weekday, expressed in currency 2. Weekday is defined as Monday to Friday, regardless if it is a public holiday; i.e. when you run 1 Day P/L on Tues, it will always compare the difference between Tues and Monday, even if Monday happens to be a holiday. Currency 2 is the right hand (second) currency of a currency pair e.g. Jpy will be Ccy 2 in Usd/Jpy. We calculate this by loading the market data for the previous day (at the close of day as per the setting in XDF<GO>) and revaluing the P/L. Currently three different local closing times are available in XDF and they are New York 17:00, London 18:00 and Tokyo 20:00. For new trades the 1 DAY P/L is the same as the P/L (See below for P/L). 1 Day P/L Home 1 Day P/L Home is calculated as the difference in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the previous weekday, expressed in the home currency. Weekday is defined as Monday to Friday, regardless if it is a public holiday; i.e. when you run 1 Day P/L on Tues, it will always compare the difference between Tues and Monday, even if Monday happens to be a holiday. Users could choose the home currency in OVRA <Go>. We calculate this by loading the market data for the previous day (at the close of day as per the setting in XDF<GO>) and revaluing the P/L. Currently three different local closing times are available in XDF and they are New York 17:00, London 18:00 and Tokyo 20:00. For new trades the 1 DAY P/L is the same as the P/L (See below for P/L).

Page 4: BB Options Tutorial1

P/L Home In OVRA, P/L is defined as the difference between the value of the securities and the premium; i.e. P/L = Value – Premium. In the case of an option, P/L will be the difference in the value of the option calculated based on the market parameters (spot rate, forward rates, volatilities, etc) minus the premium of the option. Please note that P/L can only be calculated on lines where the premium is known. Therefore for FX trades where premium is not known, users need to put in 0 in order to have P/L calculated. The value at the pricing spot date can be seen by displaying the VALUE column, the premium by displaying the PREMIUM column. Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). Users could choose the home currency in OVRA <Go>. P/L Ccy1 In OVRA, P/L is defined as the difference between the value of the securities and the premium; i.e. P/L = Value – Premium. P/L Ccy1 is the Profit & Loss expressed in currency 1. Currency 1 is the left hand (first) currency of a currency pair e.g. Usd will be Ccy 1 in Usd/Jpy. In the case of an option, P/L will be the difference in the value of the option calculated based on the market parameters (spot rate, forward rates, volatilities, etc) minus the premium of the option. Please note that P/L can only be calculated on lines where the premium is known. Therefore for FX trades where premium is not known, users need to put in 0 in order to have P/L calculated. The value at the pricing spot date can be seen by displaying the VALUE column, the premium by displaying the PREMIUM column. Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). P/L Ccy2 In OVRA, P/L is defined as the difference between the value of the securities and the premium; i.e. P/L = Value – Premium. P/L Ccy2 is the Profit & Loss expressed in currency 2. Currency 2 is the right hand (second) currency of a currency pair e.g. Jpy will be Ccy 2 in Usd/Jpy.

In the case of an option, P/L will be the difference in the value of the option calculated based on the market parameters (spot rate, forward rates, volatilities, etc) minus the premium of the option. Please note that P/L can only be calculated on lines where the premium is known. Therefore for FX trades where premium is not known, users need to put in 0 in order to have P/L calculated. The value at the pricing spot date can be seen by displaying the VALUE column, the premium by displaying the PREMIUM column. Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). A/E This is the column for the style of an option. A denotes that it is an American style option whereby the option could be exercised any time during the life of the option. E denotes an European style option whereby the option could only be exercised on the maturity date. Account Account displays the text you entered in the Account Note field when you add a trade to the portfolio (see diagram). if you have not added any text, the Account column will be blank.

Alert Alert shows the Barrier Alert Status. A Grey Bell indicates that an alert can be set but has not been set yet, a White Bell indicates that an alert has been set. Avg Fwd Average forward rate is calculated from realised fixings and the portfolio of forwards. If no fixings have been set, the rate will calculate from the portfolio of forwards. Avg Fwd Strike Average forward strike is calculated from realised fixings and the portfolio of forwards. If no fixings have been set, the rate will calculate from the portfolio of forwards. Barr1 Direction This is the direction of the barrier with respect to the first barrier (lower barrier). It can be: Down and In, Down and Out, Up and In, or Up and Out. We leave this column blank for Accruals, Accumulators and Faders. Barr2 Direction This is the direction of the barrier with respect to barrier 2 (higher barrier). It can be: Down and In, Down and Out, Up and In, or Up and Out. We leave this column blank for Accruals, Accumulators and Faders.

Style This is the style of the fx trade or option such as vanilla, Double KO, FX, Double NT, etc. Theo Value Ccy 1 Theoretical value (TV) is the value of an option as calculated by the commonly used Black-Scholes formula. In exotic option pricing, theoretical value - derived from Black-Scholes formula using ATM volatility - is commonly used as a reference price when different players may use different mathematical pricingmodels to calculate the price of an option. Theo Value Ccy 1 shows the Theoretical Value of the option expressed in the left hand (first) currency of the currency pair.

Page 21: BB Options Tutorial1

Theo Value Ccy 2 Theoretical value (TV) is the value of an option as calculated by the commonly used Black-Scholes formula.

Theo Value Home shows the Theoretical Value of the option expressed in thehome currency as defined in OVRA. Theta This shows the change in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the next weekday expressed in the home currency. We calculate this by assuming that the spot rolls along the forward curve, the forward and interest/depo rate curves remain fixed in date terms, the volatility surface remains fixed in date terms and we price using forward volatilities from this surface. We calculate the Theta in the right hand (second) currency of the currency pair (SECURITY) and then convert this to the home currency using the Pricing Date spot rate. Theta Ccy1 This shows the change in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the next weekday expressed in the left hand (first) currency of the currency pair. We calculate this by assuming that the spot rolls along the forward curve, the forward and interest/depo rate curves remain fixed in date terms, the volatility surface remains fixed in date terms and we price using forward volatilities from this surface. We calculate the Theta in the right

Page 22: BB Options Tutorial1

hand (second) currency of the currency pair (SECURITY) and then convert this to the left hand (first) currency using the Pricing Date spot rate. Theta Ccy2 This shows the change in the P/L between the Pricing Date and the next weekday expressed in the right hand (second) currency of the currency pair. We calculate this by assuming that the spot rolls along the forward curve, the forward and interest/depo rate curves remain fixed in date terms, the volatility surface remains fixed in date terms and we price using forward volatilities from this surface. We calculate the Theta in the right hand (second) currency of the currency pair (SECURITY) and then convert this to the right hand (second) currency using the Pricing Date spot rate. Time Value Ccy1 Time value = Value of the option - Intrinsic Value. An option will have intrinsic value if it is in-the-money. An out-the-money will have an intrinsic value of zero.

An option will have intrinsic value if it is in-the-money. An out-the-money will have an intrinsic value of zero. The intrinsic value of an at-the-money option is the absolute value of the difference between the outright forward and the strike. Intrinsic value is only really measured for vanilla options. It is expressed in currency 2. Currency 2 is the right hand (second) currency of a currency pair e.g. Jpy will be Ccy 2 in Usd/Jpy.

Value Ccy1 This is the value of the trade at the Pricing Spot Date expressed in the left hand (first) currency of the currency pair. This is the mark-to-market value (excludes premium). Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). Value Ccy2 This is the value of the trade at the Pricing Spot Date expressed in the right hand (second) currency of the currency pair. This is the mark-to-market value (excludes premium). Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). Value Home This is the value of the trade at the Pricing Spot Date expressed in the home currency as defined in OVRA. This is the mark-to-market value (excludes premium). Trades on or beyond their expiry date which have not been exercised are assumed to have expired worthless (Value = 0). Vanna Ccy1 Vanna measures the sensitivity of vega with respect to the change in the underlying spot. This column shows the trade's preferred model ATM volatility vanna (derivative of the trade's preferred model spot delta excluding premium with respect to the ATM volatility) expressed in the left hand (first) currency of the currency pair (SECURITY). We calculate this by blipping the ATM volatility curve and doing a full recalibration. The preferred model can be seen by displaying the MODEL column.

Volatility For vanilla, digital and compund, the implied volatility associated with the strike is used. For other deal styles the mid-ATM volatility is used. The source for the volatility of any currency pair is the default for that currency pair as can be set with OVDV<GO>.
