Abstract

Systems and method are disclosed for quoting, adjusting and settling futures contracts by successively removing the just-realized variables from the quoted futures price to focus the quoted contract value to the remaining unrealized economic variables. Further, such systems and method for quoting, adjusting and settling the futures contracts preserve the underlying economic consideration for the trade when compared with the traditional way of quoting futures based on the same cumulative sum.
