Topic Formula
Long Forward Payoff (S − K) × Q
Short Forward Payoff (K − S ) × Q
Daily Price Change ΔP = P − P ₋₁
Long Futures MTM ΔP × Lot Size × Contracts
Short Futures MTM −ΔP × Lot Size × Contracts
Contract Value Price × Lot Size × Contracts
Initial Margin Margin % × Contract Value
Maintenance Margin Maintenance % × Initial Margin
Margin Deposit Initial Margin − Current Balance
Total Gain/Loss Closing Balance − (Initial Margin + Deposits
− Withdrawals)
Future Value (Discrete) PV(1+r/m)ᵐᵀ
Present Value (Discrete) FV/(1+r/m)ᵐᵀ

Effective Annual Rate (1+r/m)ᵐ − 1
Effective Annual Rate (Continuous) eʳ − 1
Nominal from EAR m[(1+EAR)^(1/m) − 1]
EAR → Continuous ln(1+EAR)
Nominal → Continuous m ln(1+r/m)
Continuous → Nominal m(e^(r/m) − 1)

Forward/Futures (No Income) F₀ = S₀eʳᵀ
Known Cash Income F₀ = (S₀ − I)eʳᵀ
PV of Dividend De⁻ʳᵗ
PV of Multiple Dividends ΣDᵢe⁻ʳᵗⁱ
Known Dividend Yield F₀ = S₀e^(r−q)ᵀ
Currency F₀ = S₀e^(r−rf)ᵀ
Commodity (Fixed Storage) F₀ = (S₀ + U)eʳᵀ
Storage Cost PV U = Future Storage × e⁻ʳᵀ
Commodity (Storage %) F₀ = S₀e^(r+u)ᵀ
Commodity + Convenience Yield F₀ = S₀e^(r+u−y)ᵀ
Implied Convenience Yield y = r + u − ln(F₀/S₀)/T
Long Forward Value f = S − Ke⁻ʳᵀ
Short Forward Value f = Ke⁻ʳᵀ − S
Basis Basis = Spot − Futures
Effective Price F₁ + b₂
Hedge Ratio h = ρ(σ /σf)
Number of Contracts N = h × (Exposure/Contract Size)
Futures Contract Value Vf = Futures Price × Multiplier
Portfolio Hedge N = β(Vₐ/Vf)
Change Portfolio Beta N = (βᵢ − β )(Vₐ/Vf)
