SPECTRA trading platform upgrade to version 5.3 (СР2017-1)
The SPECTRA trading platform will be upgraded to version 5.3 on 27 February 2017. On 24 February 2017, the evening trading session on the MOEX Derivatives Market will be cancelled due to the upgrade.
What`s new in version 5.3:
1. Formula for the volatility curve was changed
Calculation of parameter "y" has been changed as follows:
- 𝑦=𝑥−𝑠∗(1/√𝑇)
For more details, please see the full text of the Volatility Curve Estimation Algorithm.
Please note that changes in the formula will cause recalculation of volatility curve parameters (s, a, b, c, d, e) which were set at the evening clearing session on February 24, 2017.
Due to recalculation initial margin for options may insignificantly change in the beginning of trading session on February 27, 2017.

Starting from version 5.3, the SPECTRA trading platform is able to accept calendar spread orders with a life span ("date_exp" > the current day). Such orders are submitted by the command "FutAddMultiLegOrder"; the expiry date is set by the parameter "date_exp" (type "с8").
