# FpML 5.3 Validation Rules - Rules for Equity Derivatives (EQD)

This is the Equity Derivatives part of the validation rule set accompanying the FpML 5.3 Working Draft #2. The introductory section in the draft contains background information and documentation for this page.

The rules contained on this page contain links to cut down versions of valid and invalid test cases. These test cases have been analysed using Systemwire's xlinkit rule engine to highlight relevant document portions accessed by a rule. The cut down test cases are non-normative and are provided for the purpose of documentation only.

#### Deprecated rules

#### Removed rules

eqd-1 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Trade, Contract; Description: //americanExercise/commencementDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be equal to tradeHeader/tradeDate. Rationale for removal: incorrect from business perspective.
eqd-2b (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If equityOption/equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise exists, then equityOption/equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/expirationDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-2.
eqd-4b (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If equityOption/bermudaExercise exists, then equityOption/bermudaExercise/commencementDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-4.
eqd-5 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Trade, Contract; Description: //equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/expirationDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be greater than or equal to tradeHeader/tradeDate. Rationale for removal: eqd-5 is redundant. The effect of eqd-5 is available by entailment on eqd-4, eqd-8, eqd-9.
eqd-7 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: equityBermudaExercise; Description: The elements in bermudaExerciseDates/date should be in order, earliest date first. Rationale for removal: Enforcing that data should be in specific order is not permitted.
eqd-11 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: EquityBermudanExercise; Description: latestExerciseTime/hourMinuteTime must be before or equal to equityExpirationTime/hourMinuteTime.
eqd-12b (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If equityOption/europeanExercise exists, then equityOption/europeanExercise/expirationDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-12.
eqd-13b (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If equityOption/premium/paymentDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate exists, then equityOption/premium/paymentDate/adjustableDate/unadjustedDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-12.
eqd-14b (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If brokerEquityOption/equityPremium/paymentDate/unadjustedDate exists, then brokerEquityOption/equityPremium/paymentDate/unadjustedDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-14.
eqd-16 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: EquityMultipleExercise; Description: minimumNumberOfOptions lt maximumNumberOfOptions. Rationale for removal: inconsistent with rule eqd-27
eqd-17 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: EquityOption, EquityDerivativeShortFormBase; Description: If numberOfOptions exists, and if equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/maximumNumberOfOptions exists, and if equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/integralMultipleExerciseexists, then equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/maximumNumberOfOptions multiplied by equityExercise/equityAmericanExercise/equityMultipleExercise/integralMultipleExercise must be less than or equal to the numberOfOptions. Rationale for removal: rule eqd-17 is incorrect. The usage of the integralMultipleExercise is covered under the rule eqd-28. (Reference:http://www.fpml.org/documents/groupdocs/MultipleExerciseAmountExplanatoryNotes_v1.0.doc)
eqd-18 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: EquityOption, EquityDerivativeShortFormBase; Description: If numberOfOptions exists, and if equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/equityMultipleExercise/maximumNumberOfOptions exists, and if equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/equityMultipleExercise/integralMultipleExercise exists, then equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/equityMultipleExercise/maximumNumberOfOptions multiplied by equityExercise/equityBermudaExercise/equityMultipleExercise/integralMultipleExercise must be less than or equal to the numberOfOptions. Rationale for removal: rule eqd-18 is incorrect. The usage of the integralMultipleExercise is covered under the rule eqd-28. (Reference:http://www.fpml.org/documents/groupdocs/MultipleExerciseAmountExplanatoryNotes_v1.0.doc)
eqd-21 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: CalculationAgent; Description: calculationAgentPartyReference must exist. Rationale for removal: EQDWG 2007-11-30; agreed that this rule doesn't make any business sense since the calculation agent may be specified in the master confirmation or the master agreement.
eqd-23 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Trade; Description: If equityOption/equityEffectiveDate exists, then equityOption/equityEffectiveDate must be after or equal to tradeHeader/tradeDate. Rationale for removal: eqd-23 is redundant. The effect of eqd-23 is available by entailment of a more generic rule eqd-31.
eqd-30 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: If equityOption/equityEffectiveDate exists, then equityOption/equityEffectiveDate must be after or equal to header/contractDate. Rationale for removal: eqd-30 is redundant. The effect of eqd-30 is available by entailment of a more generic rule eqd-32.
eqd-32 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Contract; Description: The starting date of an equity option must be after the contract date. Rationale for removal: Use rule eqd-31.
