Special forms of benchmarks

As a rule, securities are quoted using stored price data. This price data is offset for display by factor or dividend adjustment, exchange rates or period consolidation.

If no price data is available for a security, it can also be calculated or simulated from other security prices using a calculation rule. This is particularly helpful for the extended construction of benchmarks, e.g. "Libor + 2.5%".

Activate the "MM-Talk formula" option in the "Price quote properties" (of any security type) to configure the price calculation rule via MM-Talk in the "Price calculation" area. Use the "Price calculation..." button to open the formula editor to enter a formula.

Please also read the section Calculate courses, where you will find an example of the exchange rate calculation.
