Top  Previous  Next

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.
oBoth 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:
oSales execution date
oSales 100% pricing date
oPurchase 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.
