Profit and loss calculations are based on a realization date, which falls within a Reporting period.
• | For physical contracts, realization happens when goods are both priced and delivered to a buyer. |
o | Both the Incoming/Purchase and Outgoing/Sales sides of the delivery need to be priced. |
• | Priced means the delivery line is either Fixed price or assigned to a Full Pricing. So, a physical trade is realized within a period when the most recent of the following three dates are within that period: |
o | Purchase 100% pricing date |
• | For futures, realization happens on the expiry date of the future. |
• | For Forex, realization happens on the maturity date of the Forex contract. |
