The first portion of this file is some general info for reading some
of the data for this site which is expressed symbolically. The second
portion does have the basic contract specifications.
In the Daily Futures Prices section commodities are named as: One or more
letters for the symbol name, two digits for the year and then a letter
for the month. For example: BP05M is BP=British Pound 05=2005 M=June
F=Jan G=Feb H=Mar J=Apr K=May M=Jun
N=Jul Q=Aug U=Sep V=Oct X=Nov Z=Dec
Symbols which begin with a Q or a @ are the electronically traded markets.
To read the All Prices file within the Option Prices note the commodity name
as above and then the next letter is a P or C for put or call and then the
strike price as a number of digits and then a space and the option premium
another space and the volume of trade the previous day for that option and
then the date the option last traded in yymmdd format.
|----------------------------------------------|
|PLEASE NOTE WHEN CALCULATING THE DOLLAR VALUE |
|----------------------------------------------|
If the unit is 10 just multiply the price diff. or the premium by dollars per point.
Example:Crude Oil is 38 higher today so the value increased by 38 X 10 = $380.00
If the unit is 8 then divide the last digit by 8 before multiplying by $ per point.
Example: A Corn option premium of 136 would be 13+6/8 or 13.75 X $50.00 = $687.50
If the unit is 32 then divide the last two digits by 32 before multiplying by $ per point.
Example: A Bond Futures price change of 13/32 would be .40625 X $1,000 = $406.25
If the unit is 64 then divide the last two digits by 64 before multiplying by $ per point.
Example: A Bond Option premium of 127 would be 1+27/64 X $1,000 = $1,421.875
