Price Decimals | The number of decimals to use when showing the price of the instrument |
Display Percentage Price | If checked the price will be displayed as a percentage value, in the database the value of 98% will be stored as 0.98 but shown as 98%. In this example we are using currency values as the price. |
Price | The price of the instrument |
Price Date | The date when the price was set |
Multiplier | The value multiplier of the instrument. Since the underlying number of units for this instrument is 100 shares we are going to set the multiplier to 100. This means that if 1 warrant is traded at a price of 100 the cost of that trade will be 502 USD (1 warrant x 5.02 price x 100 shares). |
Decimals | This is a legacy property that should be left blank |
Quantity Decimals | This is the number of decimals that should be used for the units. The option is traded in whole units and thus we write 0 for this value. |
