A Bunker Swap or CALL or PUT option is like an FFA/Option Trade except that it references a different market.

Bunker Swap contracts are valued against the quoted forward rates for the bunker symbol underlying the trade. Bunker Swap Options are not being automatically valued against the underlying routes. Instead, you can create a Market for Bunker Options in which the Option Symbols can be quoted. Each Bunker Swap Option contract will have a unique Option Symbol automatically generated. On the Market Data form, the quoted values of the trades can be recorded for each Option Symbol.

Bunker Swap/Option List

The Bunker Swap/Option List includes all Bunker Swap/Option Trades that you have the right to view.

On the Trading menu , under Trades, next to Bunker Swap/Option, click List.
