Maximizing the Group Menu

The expanded version of the Group menu contains four additional option fields:

Field	Function
Date	Date on which position was created.
Value	Displays the currency (i.e., dollars) value of a one-point move in price.
Comm	Enables you to deduct an amount from the current valuation to arrive at an actual profit or loss.
Expire	Displays the expiration date of an instrument.

The expanded version of the Group menu contains three additional underlying fields.

Field	Function
Offset	Optional Adjustment to Underlying price. This value is added to the underlying price when pricing an option with a different underlying instrument. Used for pricing the futures options when the contract of one month is used as the underlying of the options on a future of a different month. Also used when valuing index options (OEX) with index futures (SP) used as the underlying. The default value displayed is derived using the put-call-parity relationship. This value only affects the option pricing model when it is locked or when you are using a different underlying than the option’s true underlying in the pricing model.
Base	Enables you to enter a base for evaluating short term interest rate futures (i. e., Eurodollars and Treasury Bills).
Value	Displays the currency (i.e., dollars) value of a one-point move in price in the underlying.
