When the Long/Short Indicator field (tag 2284) in the upper pane has a value of Long, the Long/Short Indicator (tag 15) in the lower pane identifies the swap contract as Long, the pay leg as Short, and the receive leg as Long. If you set the Long/Short Indicator field (tag 2284) in the upper pane to Short, the Long/Short Indicator (tag 15) in the lower pane identifies the swap contract as Short, the pay leg as Long, and the receive leg as Short.

Clearing Broker 

1236

Specifies the name of the clearing broker if different from the trade broker. When you book a trade in an entity that uses derivative segregation, you must specify the trade's clearing broker where available. If you use derivative segregation with cash segregation, the lookup shows clearing brokers associated with bank account relationships that have a relationship type of Entity & Clearing Broker Relationship. 

When you segregate derivatives, the system uses the clearing broker as an additional position-level criteria to establish uniqueness and drive the method of segregation. For interest rate swaps, when you use derivative segregation the system can segregate exchange cleared swaps but does not segregate bilateral, or uncleared, swaps.

Indicates whether the contract level security is an exchange cleared swap. An exchange cleared swap is an over the counter derivative cleared through a central exchange. Options include:

  • Yes. The security is an exchange cleared swap. The system calculates a variation margin and accrues interest for cleared swaps. The Approve Margin process sums the unapproved margin and interest and creates a traded cash record for each leg of the swap. Cleared swaps trade with notional cost and do not generate coupons. The system uses the core cost tags to store the notional cost values at the position, open, and close Cost object levels for cleared swaps.

  • No. The security is not an exchange cleared swap.

Variation Margin

4533

Indicates whether the system calculates a variation margin for the security. If the Cleared Security field display a value of Yes, the Variation Margin field displays a value of Yes, and the system calculates a variation margin for the security. After you book a trade for the swap, you must calculate and approve the variation margin. See the Calculate and Approve Variation Margin section for more information. If the Cleared Security field does not display a value of Yes, the Variation Margin field appears blank, and the system does not calculate a variation margin for the security.

Auto Settle Trade Indicator

58

Indicates whether the system settles the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses automatically. If the entity's Auto Settle Indicator field is set to Yes, as specified on the Create/Edit Entity or Create Master Setup panels, the system creates a settlement when the trade is processed. There is no trade to settle date gain/loss. This applies even if the settlement date is in the future. Eagle recommends that you set the Auto Settle Indicator field to No for the entity and trade panels. Options include:

  • Yes. The system automatically settles the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. The system retrieves the settle date FX rate if the local currency does not equal base and generates a trade to settle date gain/loss.

  • No. Default. The system does not automatically settle the trade, coupon, and miscellaneous income and expenses. You must schedule the settlement for these transactions using the Run Contract Cash global panel. Or, manually settle the transactions using the Run Multiple Settlements panel. If you use cash segregation based on actual cash settlements, you can schedule settlements using the Run Cash Auto Match panel and create settlements manually using Cash Matching.

Eagle Insurance clients that use ledger granularity rules have the system calculate the holding term based on the schedule associated with a lot. Options include:

If the Holding Term Method field (tag 11479) in the trade's accounting basis has a value of 90 days, a cash equivalent holding term is 90 days or less.
