Wall Street Financial Assistant v3.04

A bond is a long-term contract under which a borrower agrees to make payments of interest and principal, on specific dates, to the holder of the bond. Bonds are classified into four main types: treasury, corporate, municipal and foreign depending on the issuing side. Each type differs with respect to expected return and degree of interest. When calculating the value of a bond, a discount rate is used which is the bond's market rate of interest. The discount rate is also called yield.

Futures

Supported base assets:

The futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in the future. The types of contracts are standardized in order the exchange trade of Futures contracts to be possible. The Futures asset is similar to the Forward asset type (the latter lacks standardization and is generally not traded on an exchange). Both are particularly simple derivatives. WSFA supports futures on currency, equity, and commodity.

Options

Supported base assets:

Options are one of the most complex financial instruments. The options are " derivative" financial instruments - they are always based on another asset. Generally, the option represents the right but not the obligation to perform certain financial activity - it is upon the option holder to decide whether to execute the right or not. WSFA supports the most widely used types of options - American and European. The underlying asset type supported are currency, equity, futures. WSFA can also calculate the implied volatility of an asset. This means it can derive the volatility that the option-underlying asset should have, so that the price of the option is at some known level.
