Documentation

Definition

Defines the maximum number of occurrences of one timestamp in a commodity pricing engine (CPE) calculation.

Use

By using date substitution routines for missing data or closed market days, it may happen that one date or timestamp will occur several times in the date list of the period determination. This means that one price quotation or currency exchange rate could appear several times in the average calculation.

Specifying the maximum weighting can limit the effects of this.

Dependencies

Example

In a case where you are using Closed Days Routine 21 (Use Next Workday), and where there is a public holiday on Monday, and where the period also contains the whole weekend, then the data from Tuesday would count four times.

That is because Saturday, Sunday and Monday would all be replaced by Tuesday (the next workday), and because Tuesday itself is part of the period.

By setting the maximum weighting to 2, the Tuesday data would only count twice.
