FA-62086 / Currency rounding and FX conversion / Open access

Fractional forward points are truncated to whole pips · case 01

A 12.5-pip premium is applied as 12 pips.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 6 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The points string is truncated through int() before scaling by the pip size.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the exact decimal points value, including fractional pips.

Unsuccessful approach: Rounding points to the nearest whole pip through float still drops the fractional pip.

Case contract

solve(pair, spot, points, notional): pair is BASEQUOTE. The pip exponent depends on the quote currency: JPY 2, HUF 2, KRW 0, otherwise 4 (pip = 10**-exp). points is a decimal string of pips (fractional pips allowed, negative for discount). forward = spot + points*pip rounded half-even to exp+1 decimals (one fractional pip). The pip value in quote currency is notional*pip rounded half-even to 2 decimals. Return [forward, pip_value] as plain strings.

Why this case matters

Currency amounts must be rounded at the right stage and in the right unit, or ledgers, quotes and settlements drift by minor units.

Verification & scope

A deterministic, bounded teaching model with a stipulated toy contract; it makes no claim of conformance to any real regulation, standard, or institution's rules. 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.
