elStressDriver

Summary

After having defined a shock amplitude, the elStressDriver function retrieves on demand the profit and loss of a portfolio. This function supports only positions and portfolio as calculation levels.

Examples

=elStressDriver("pnl","portfolio","fx-USD-AUD", "relative",0.1,D11:D50,E11:E50,"CHF","relative")

Calculates the P&L impact an interest curve stress would have on a portfolio of instruments defined in column C (with corresponding quantities in column D) expressed in CHF.

Syntax

elStressDriver(measure, calculationsLevel, driverId, shockType, shockValue, assetsIds[], quantities[], currency, measureType)
Argument nameDefaultDescription
measure"pnl" (Profit and Loss).
calculationsLevelThe granularity at which the results should be calculated (individual asset, portfolio).
driverIdThe ID of a pre-defined scenario to serve as the basis for the simulation.
shockTyperelative or absolute (Check the stress scenarios dedicated tables)
shockValueany number
assetsIdsSingle or multiple asset identifiers (ISIN, FIGI, currency ISO, Edgelab ID).
quantities1Assets quantities
currencylocalThe ISO code of the reference currency for deriving the calculation results. Specify "local" to use the instruments native currency where appropriate. It is mandatory to specify a currency when the granularity is "portfolio".
measureType (Optional)relativeWhether the result should be normalized. The input should be "relative" or "absolute". "True" or "False" are still supported for the moment.
