Documentation

Definition

Treasury and Risk Management Transaction Manager
Reporting for a given date / evaluation of positions for the key date

All open futures positions are revalued by the respective futures and options exchange at the end of each trading day. This mark-to-market valuation is used to calculate the gains and losses (= variation margin) of the futures positions resulting from daily market fluctuations. The variation margin is credited or debited on a daily basis. If this brings the balance below the initial margin, enough capital must be injected to restore the original initial margin.
