Quarterly Equivalent Volume

  • Calendar options volume represents the 4 quarters that make up the strip.
  • E.g. If Cal Option = 5 lots, the quarterly equivalent volume = 5*4 = 20 lots.

Traded MWh

  • MWh calculation = Traded volume * Contract volume
  • E.g. BNZ2010 traded 5 lots at $55.00 --> Traded MWh = 5*2,208 = 11,040

Face Value

  • FV calculation = Traded price * Traded MWh
  • E.g. BNZ2010 traded 5 lots at $55.00 --> Face Value = $55.00*11,040 = $607,200
  • Option Face Value is calculated using the option strike price

Other

  • Futures volume that results from the exercise of options, is included as volume.
  • Mandatory settlements of futures are excluded from volume.
