 Ⓘ   [NOTE: Typed letters are shown in this document in uppercase but may be typed in uppercase or lowercase. Variables (for example, n to identify any integer) are shown in italics]

 

Combo Boxes and List Boxes

A, B, C, ... Z 0, 1, 2, ... 9

Typing a letter or a number selects the first item that starts with the character typed.

 

Currency Fields

In a currency field, click the down arrow, and type the first letter of the currency, for example E. The first currency that starts with that letter will be highlighted, ESP for example. Then you can type U, and EUR will be highlighted. The field will be automatically populated with the highlighted currency.

 

Currency Amount Fields

n represents an integer.

nK	n thousand. For example, typing 10K makes 10,000.
nM	n million. For example, typing 10M makes 10,000,000.

 

Date and Time Fields

When editing dates, type the date in your locale's format - For example, MM/DD/yy or MM/DD/yyyy.

With the date field in edit mode, the background will turn red if you have typed a non-business day. Type + or - to move the date forward or backward by one day.

Ctrl+N	Sets date to today or time to now.
Ctrl+E	Sets time to end of day (23:59:59) to ensure loading of any market data available on the specified day.
Ctrl+P or '+'	Adds one day.
Ctrl+M or '-'	Subtracts one day.
Ctrl+B or Shift+?	Opens the Calendar Utility Window.

 

Period Shortcuts

Typed in a date field, the Y, M, W, or D abbreviation will set that field's date to the end date of a period that is n years, months, weeks, or days long, respectively. When typed in a start date field, the period is measured from the spot date for the selected rate index or currency. When typed in any other field, the period is measured from the appropriate period begin date. For example, if the start date of a swap is January 5, 2000 and you type '1y' in the End Date field, the application will set the end date to January 5, 2001.

nY	Date is n years out.
n.nY	Date is n.n years out. For example, '2.5Y'.
nM	Date is n months out.
nW	Date is n weeks out.
nD	Date is n days out.

Date Sequence Shortcuts

IMM Tenors

The IMM Tenors refer to IMM dates that fall on the third Wednesday of March, June, September, and December.

The IMM Tenors shortcut is supported in the Structured Flows trade window, the FRA trade window, and the Interest Rates trade windows with the exception of the Trade Advance window and Trade AdvanceLetterCredit window.

Users can type a number followed by the letter i into the Start Date and End Date fields of a trade and press the Enter key to populate a corresponding date.

»

Start Date - The Start Date field uses the Value Date field as the reference or anchor date for determining the Start Date from the shortcut.

Example: Value Date = 03/20/2017, the user enters the tenor 2i, the system generates a Start Date of 09/20/2017 (the 3rd Wednesday of September).

»

End Date - The End Date field uses the Start Date as the reference or anchor date for determining the End Date from the shortcut.

Example: Start Date = 09/20/2017, the user enter the tenor 4i, the system generates an End Date of 09/19/2018 (the 3rd Wednesday of September in 2018).

 

IMM dates are defined in the Date Rules Window.

For details on defining date rules, see "Defining Date Rules" under Reference Data in Calypso Getting Started documentation.

 

Start Date

For most trades, the Start Date field is the current date plus the spot days for the selected currency. It will be otherwise specified in the Help for that window.

To modify the spot days, from the Calypso Navigator, navigate to Configuration > Definitions > Currency Definitions to invoke the Currency Default window.

»

Select a currency and specify the spot days as applicable, then click Save.

 

Lag Fields

Lag fields specify a number of days after or before a given date. They are usually associated with a BUS checkbox so that you can specify if the number of days are business days or calendar days.

To specify a number of business days, you can directly enter nb in the lag field. For example, 2b specifies 2 business days.
