FA-61651 / Options payoff and settlement / Open access

Exercise assignment allocation across short accounts: equal remainders are broken by account name · case 01

Ties go to alphabetically earlier accounts instead of older positions.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The tie-break key omits the open sequence.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Break ties by lower open sequence.

Unsuccessful approach: Preferring the higher open sequence favours newer positions.

Case contract

Inputs exercised contracts (<= total short), shorts [account, qty, open sequence] and method. fifo assigns in ascending open sequence, each up to its quantity. pro-rata gives floor(exercised*qty/total) and distributes the remaining contracts one each by largest fractional remainder, ties by lower open sequence. Return sorted [account, assigned] for accounts with assignments.

Why this case matters

Option expiry, exercise and settlement engines move cash and shares; a wrong branch misstates obligations.

Verification & scope

A deterministic toy contract stated explicitly in the contract field; no claim of conformance to any exchange or clearing rulebook. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
