Customizing FX Quick View Displays - 3

Sample Display: Deposit View

A custom display to show a deposit term structure FX View allows a deposit term structure to be viewed alongside forwards and outrights. But if all you are interested in is the deposit rates there is a lot of wasted screen space.

Here, only deposits will be shown from a single source, allowing the Type and Source columns to be hidden. And the day-count will be shown in preference to the start and end dates.

To format the display

Enter CLEAR= to clear any existing rates.
Enter TYPECOL=NO to hide the rate type column.
Enter DATECOL=NO to hide the date columns.
Enter DAYSCOL=YES to show the days column.
Enter SOURCECOL=NO to hide the source columns.
Enter ROWS=9 to set the number of rows; here we wish to view 9 deposits.
Enter GBPOND;TN;SN;SW,1M;3M;6M;9M;1Y for the required periods. Note that a currency is specified to ensure valid rate requests are made. This will request forwards which need to be changed in the next step...
... by entering TYPE=D to change the requests to deposits.

This should be the finished display.

Adjusting the display

To change the currency to the Euro simply enter CCY=EUR.

If a specific source is required enter SOURCE=TU to view deposits from Tulletts, for example. To check this the source columns can be quickly displayed (SOURCECOL=YES) and hiden again (SOURCECOL=NO, or UNDO=).

Summary

The display configuration and global request commands can be used to quickly create and maintain custom displays. While these displays may not have all the optimised features of, say, FX View, they do represent a flexible approach to presenting data in Derivity Analytics.
