In this step, you define how to import index volatilities via the external partner program of your datafeed provider.

Example

Notation:

  • Index name:                DAX    (Frankfurt floor trading system)
  • Volatility type:            041
  • Term in days:            250

Relevant datafeed notation (Example for Dow Jones, April 1997):

  • Instrument name:    [19175.DAX]DAX
  • Data source:    PubRecords
  • Instrument property:    CALL_BID

Requirements

In Customizing you have to define the:

  • Index name via Treasury management -> Basic functions -> Master data -> Indexes -> Define indexes AND
  • Volatility type via Market risk management -> Rate and price tables -> Define volatility type

The "Realtime price/rate supply" function operates on the assumption that your external partner program can operate in a realtime environment. Ask your datafeed provider if your external partner program meets this requirement and if it can provide market data from the system after one request.

Activities

  1. Define how you wish to import your index volatilities via the external partner program and hence via the datafeed.
  2. If you wish to display a rate history in the system, set the Permanently save market data in R/3 indicator.
  3. You can also establish whether rate provision takes place via requests from the system or realtime via the external partner program of your datafeed provider.
  4. Save your entries.
