Enhancement #3


Support PCA weight for spread and butterfly strategies containing issue specific bonds, previously only calculated for generics


PCA weight is available for all treasury bonds now by interpolation and is calculated as follows:


  1. We first calculate PCA factors for key bonds (the bonds we use to build the OTR curve)

  2. Then we use those factors to build PCA scenario curves (first-factor scenario curve, second-factor scenario curve, and third-factor scenario curve).

  3. Lastly, the PCA factors for any bond can be calculated under those new curves. PCA weights are derived using those factors.


To change their weighting, traders can <right click> on the "Weight" column and select "Change Weight To" - "Sprd/Bfly/Condor Weight" and select "PCA Weight".
