What is the Reference Price?

The Reference Price refers to the automatic extension of contract periods when there are open positions in specific products such as Crude Oil (CLS10), Asian Indices (NK & HK), and US Indices (NQ, DJ & SP) without liquidating those positions.

During this process, the reference is not calculated as profit or loss. Instead, equity adjustments are made by calculating the difference between the closing price of the old contract and the closing price of the new contract. This ensures that the equity value remains consistent after the expiration of the old contract.

Adjustments During the Reference Price:

  • For an open Buy position, a financial adjustment will be made equivalent to the P/L (Profit or Loss) between the closing price of the old contract’s Sell position and the closing price of the new contract’s Buy position.
  • For an open Sell position, a financial adjustment will be made equivalent to the P/L (Profit or Loss) between the closing price of the old contract’s Buy position and the closing price of the new contract’s Sell position.

Index US
The US Index products, including Dow Jones (DJ), Nasdaq (NQ), and S&P 500 (SP), implement a Reference Price once every three months.

The US Index Reference Price is executed after 04:00 (SUMMER) or Winter +1 hour on the second business day before the third Friday of the contract month (March, June, September, and December). If that day is not a business day, the previous business day will be used instead.

Below are the details of the Reference Price implementation and an example calculation for the US Index products:

Implementation of the US Index Reference Price
For example, in the September 2024 contract month, the third week falls between September 10–16, 2024. Two business days before Friday in that week is Wednesday, September 13, 2024. Therefore, the Reference Price for the US Index in the September 2024 contract month will take place on September 13, 2024.
