Working With the Cash Flow Dates Window

For each instrument, you can see all information about the underlying coupons (and therefore all the payments to be made between the two parties) in the Cash Flow Dates window.

In order to access the Cash Flow Dates window, you must first fill in the instrument’s details. This window is accessed in the Single Option page by clicking the Cash Flow and Dates button; in the Portfolio page it can be opened for each individual instrument by clicking its own Cash Flow and Dates button.

The following topics are covered:

What Can be Done in the Cash Flow Dates Window?

 

In the Cash Flow Dates window:

Any change to the general input data for the leg, for example, a change to the frequency or the stub settings, etc., disables the coupons. That is, the coupons are grayed out, and you must then click the Calculate button to recalculate the coupons and their results.
Any change to the input data for a coupon removes all calculated fields (including the Discount Factor, the Cash Flow, the Cash flow PV, the Principal Payment and Total Payment columns, etc., as relevant) for all the displayed coupons. You must then click the Calculate button to recalculate the coupons’ results.
If you make manual changes to the Cash Flow Date window, any changes you then subsequently make to the pricing page that will affect the cash flow information (for example, changing the start date or the notional) will overwrite any manual changes you made to the coupon definitions in the Cash Flow Date window. The only change in that window that is not affected is the amortization type, i.e., the method chosen to adjust the notionals that is set using the Notional Per Fixing dropdown list.
