GENENQ
Tradenet
This report includes Physicals and Futures and is used to show Monthly Exposure. It is more applicable to Lot based operations where Contract splits match Lots as opposed to Bale based operations where inventory is applied to Contract splits/headers in parts so the Open quantity on the Contract is reduced over time
Physicals
Priced Physicals are presented by Position Period (apply Position Code to Shipment Period) or Valuation Period as requested.
Unpriced Physicals are presented by Position Period or Prompt Month as requested.
Partially Priced Physicals are split into Priced and Unpriced.
Sales are reported as negative quantity.
Pricing to Come is represented by Unpriced Physicals.
Physicals are grouped by the Commodity Group Code.
Futures
Futures flagged as Hedging Futures are included. These are recognised from the account on the trade (must be flagged as a House Account) and the code on the trade (must be set up as a hedge/fix).
Futures are reported under their Prompt Month.
Futures are grouped by the TCCM group code.
The inclusion of Settled Futures is optional.
‘Other Futures’ (i.e. not Hedges for House Accounts) are included but do not influence the Net Position.
Delta Options
Options with the Delta applied may be included (optional) and affect the Net Position.
In the Money Options
These Options for House Accounts may be included.
Net Position
The Net Position is Priced Physicals + Unpriced Physicals + Hedge Futures + Pricing to Come + Delta Options.
Position Recap
This report includes Inventory, Physicals and Futures and is used to show Monthly Exposure.
Inventory
Includes Unapplied (no Sale) or Consignment Inventory which is neither Certificated nor Equity. The Inventory section is viewed as ‘Spot’
US Cash Physicals
Purchases and Sales are included net of inventory. Sales are reported as negative quantities. Physicals excludes Equity and Certificated Contracts. The Position Type (Start, End, Pro-Rata) is applied to the Shipment Period in order to present the Physicals.
US Futures
Futures with a code which is flagged as External (see TERMCODES). Futures are positioned under their Prompt Month.
Options Adjustment
Options with Delta applied. Options are positioned under their Prompt Month.
Certificated Cotton
Certficated Cotton includes Cotton already flagged as Certificated (has Cert class) and Cotton for which Certification has been requested – indicated on the Group Sub-Type.
Certificated Cotton includes Certificated Physicals (driven by flag on Contract Terms) net of applied inventory (therefore Open)
Hedged Equities
Equity Contracts can be set up with the number of bales requiring Hedging. The figure is net of any Redeemed bales on the Contract. The Position Month is determined from the Contract Shipment and Position indicator. Hedged Equities are listed by Market Growth.
Net Market Position
The Net Market Position is the sum of Inventory, US Cash Physicals, US Futures, Options Adjustment, Cert Cotton and Hedged Equities.
Redeemed bales
The section for Redeemed bales (Equity that has been Redeemed) is segregated in Coop bales and owned bales.
Daily Position
There are 3 styles for the Daily Position Report. These are Detailed, Summary and Crop Year Style.
Detailed
The report is separated into sections for Priced Physicals, Internal Futures, On-Call Physicals to provide a net figure. There is a breakdown by Growth/Department within SBOX (Category)
Physicals
Inventory which is not applied to a Sale or is on Consignment
Open Purchases which is Purchase Contract Quantity less Inventory against the Purchase
Open Sales which is Sale Contract Quantity less applied Inventory, not invoiced
Internal Futures
Hedges are Futures against a House Account where the Futures Code is flagged as ‘Internal’ in TERMCODES
Mirrors are Futures where the Futures Code is flagged as ‘Mirror’ in TERMCODES.
The ‘At Risk’ column displays the Exposure and includes Mirror trades and External trades - Futures Trades with a code flagged as ‘External’. The principle is that the ‘Internal’ Future is used to Hedge the Physical at Contract level and the ‘Mirror’ is the opposite entry created at the same time. The real Hedges are created at summary level so by offsetting Mirrors and Externals the Risk is ascertained (they should net to zero if every Physical is hedged)
The Net Internal Futures Position is the sum of the Hedge and At Risk values
On-Call
The On Call Position shows bales Unpriced. The Net On Call position comes from the On Call Purchases less the On Call Sales.
Total Net
Total Physicals + Internal Futures - On Call Position
