Eurex Release 13.1: Simulation Focus Days & Documentation

Simulation Focus Days
Eurex plans to conduct “Focus Days” during the simulation period. Members will be able to compare margin requirements of Eurex Releases 13.0 and 13.1 by entering a production portfolio in certain products in the simulation environment. Eurex will ensure that the relevant parameters for margin calculation (e.g. volatilities, settlement prices, offsets, etc.) will closely resemble those of the production environment of the previous business day. The first Focus Day is planned for March 22, 2011 with production data from March 21. The second Focus Day is planned for March 28, 2011 with production data from March 25.
