Frank,

I don't think the issue is how the books are calced/officialized on those
days. Here why. The same calc is used the day before and for the rest of
the following month. The physical calc is simply copied each day. On Jan.
31, extending the expert clause to include Feb is the only change made. Once
Feb rolles to intramonth the "From date" on the calc is changed from the Jan
1 to Feb 1. Since January has already rolled off this should have no effect
on the positions. Also, the positions for prompt month were correctly
captured by Risktrac, which leads me to believe that problem is with the VAR
calc not the post ids.

Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Wei,
I appreciate your help. If I hear you right, it appears it may have to do
with the way post id's and books are officialized. Thanks for your help.

Robin,
For whatever reason, we didn't pick up VaR for Feb intra-month on Jan 31, and
on Feb 1, a lot of intra month hit. I've been investigating, with Bharat,
and RAC initially thought it had something to do with the code and that GRMS
didn't roll in physical until the first of the month (I guess). Now it seems
like it may have something to do with the way Post id's/books are
officialized. (I guess). Please give this a looksy and let me know.

Nilay,
Thanks for your help, any ideas on why would be helpful.

Let me/Bharat know if we should bring ERMS into the picture.

Thanks,
Frank

Bharat,

First I checked VaR number for this portfolio_id since 26-JAN-01. Notice
there was consecutive VaR jump from 26-JAN-01 to 1-FEB-01.

PORTFOLIO_ID EFF_DT DOWN95 UP95
--------------- --------- ---------- ----------
INTRA-WEST-PH1 26-JAN-01 -534098.14 468809.11
INTRA-WEST-PH1 29-JAN-01 -2472601.4 2351240.92
INTRA-WEST-PH1 30-JAN-01 -4860067.9 4509638.58
INTRA-WEST-PH1 31-JAN-01 -5771829.8 5412690.81
INTRA-WEST-PH1 01-FEB-01 -6776703 6805456.84
INTRA-WEST-PH1 02-FEB-01 -6328870.8 6454349.9
INTRA-WEST-PH1 05-FEB-01 -5535044.3 5546160.24

Then I checked sum of delta_position and gamma for book_id INTRA-WEST-PHY on
those dates. Since I notice that VaR had a big jump from 26-JAN-01 to
29-JAN-01, so I also group by reference data on those two dates.

1 select ref_dt, strip_flag, sum(delta_position), sum(gamma)
2 from rms_open_position
3 where eff_dt = '&1'
4 and book_id = 'INTRA-WEST-PHY'
5 and nvl(strip_flag, 0) <= 0
6 group by ref_dt, strip_flag
7* having (sum(delta_position) < 0 or sum(gamma) < 0)

Effective_dt 26-jan-01

REF_DT STRIP_FLAG SUM(DELTA_POSITION) SUM(GAMMA)

27-FEB-01 3 156324.294 0
28-FEB-01 3 156324.294 0


The following is the list of sum of delta position on those dates without
group by reference_dt:

EFFECTIVE_DT STRIP_FLAG SUM(DELTA_POSITION) SUM(GAMMA)
------------ ---------- ------------------- ----------
26-JAN-01 3 314034.299 0 (Reference date
30-JAN-01 to 31-JAN-01)
29-JAN-01 3 4530604.63 0 (Reference date
31-JAN-01 to 28-FEB-01)
30-JAN-01 3 8901557.37 0 (Reference date
01-FEB-01 to 28-FEB-01)
31-JAN-01 3 9539555.15 0 (Reference date
02-FEB-01 to 28-FEB-01)
01-FEB-01 3 8782018.97 0 (Reference date
01-FEB-01 to 28-FEB-01)
02-FEB-01 3 7889069.32 0 (Reference date
06-FEB-01 to 28-FEB-01)
05-FEB-01 3 7597454.74 0 (Reference date
07-FEB-01 to 28-FEB-01)

It looks to me the trend on VaR change is very similar to the trend on delta
position change. If you want to know why delta position went higher from
26-JAN-01 to 01-FEB-01, we need to get ERMS people involved. RisktRAC
basically just pulls position from ERMS.

Thanks,

Wei
