Hi, I’m working on the Confirm generation and couldnt figure out how to map the following Knock Event fields with FpML. The product type is Equity – Cash Settled Index Option. I have pasted at the end of this message the ISDA description of each of the following data elements. 1) Knock-in Event 2) Knock-in Price 3) Knock-in Reference Security 4) Knock-in Determination Day(s) 5) Knock-in Valuation Time Note: FpML Elements available for Knock (In or Out). knock knockIn schedule elements /schedule trigger elements /trigger featurePayment elements /featurePayment /knockIn /knock The Description of the above data elements is below from ISDA document. 1) Knock-in Event This field should be populated as “Applicable” if knock-in event is applicable. If Knock-in Event is applicable, specify the event or occurrence that will trigger the Knock-in Event. The parties must also specify what exercise, payment or delivery rights or obligations are conditional upon the occurrence of a Knock-in Event. 2) Knock-in Price The price, level or amount has been reached with respect to the knock-in event 3) Knock-in Reference Security Index, share, other security or basket associated with the knock-in. If knock-in and no reference security is specified, then Reference Security is deemed the same as the Index. 4) Knock-in Determination Day(s) Trading days / period associated for the knock-in event. If knock-in and determination days not specified, then Determination Days include period from Trade Date to Final Valuation Date. Example: 1st of each month. 5) Knock-in Valuation Time The time on any knock-in determination days for which the index, share, other security or based is to be valued. If knock-in and no valuation time is specified, then valuation time is the actual exchange closing time. Example: 12:00:00 AM.
