The futures transactions clearing process is carried out by netting for each Clearing Member portfolio and its clients on contract positions, margin, and profit/loss. Clearing results done KPEI will produce a document called Futures and Options Clearing Result List (CRL). CRL can be accessed by Clearing Member at 7.30pm on the same day of the futures contract transaction. Futures and Options CRL inform all open positions, profit/loss, margin, premium of each contract.
As described above, the determination of the futures transactions’ rights and obligations are calculated daily using HPH. For the determination of HPH, contract price (IF) samples that occur at specific points in Regular Market is used, excluding ones that occur by crossing (buy and sell transaction conducted by the same Exchange Member). HPH sample calculation based on:
- The average (IF) contract price within the last 30 minutes of IF Regular Market by taking the contract price every 10 minutes to get the 4 prices on the following points (15:45, 15:55, 16:05, 16:15). This is done if there is a IF transaction before and after 15:45.
- If the above conditions are not fulfilled because the transaction occurring after 15:45, then HPH is calculated based on the average 8 contract prices, which consists of 4 (IF) contract price in the KBIE Regular Market and 4 (underlying) LQ-45 securities index price points as follows:
- First, second, fourth and sixths prices use securities (underlying) LQ-45 index prices taken on the following points: 15.30, 15.40, 15.50, 16.00;
- Thrid, fifth, seventh, and eighth prices use the last (IF) contract prices on Regular Market taken on the following points: 15.45, 15.55, 16.05, 16.15.
- If until 16:15 there are no transactions in the IF Regular Market, the HPH is calculated in accordance to the provisions stipulated on the letter b. above, but the (IF) contract price uses the previous prices (T-1 settlement price) instead of the final price.
- If the IF transaction only occurs before 15:45, the HPH is calculated in accordance to the provisions of letter b.ii above, but the four points will use IF contract prices occurring on the last transaction in the Futures Regular Market.
Meanwhile, HPF is calculated based on the average (underlying securities) LQ-45 index price in the last 30 minutes of trading on the underlying market by taking the 15:30, 15:40, 15:50, 16:00 points.

Date Description 2 November 2020 Mr. A predicts that LQ-45 indeks will decline. Mr. A enter into 3 contracts of LQ45F6 Sell Contract for the index at 750 (the transaction matched with Mr. B) with the following condition:
Mr. A and Mr. B's collaterals are blocked for the initial margin amount, which is:
= (4% x 750 x 3 Rp500.000)
= Rp45.000.000On the afternoon, the index declines to 712.50
The gain/loss calculation is as follows:
Mr. A gains:
=(750 - 712.50) x 3 x Rp500.000
=Rp56,250,000Mr. B loses:
=(712.50 - 750) x 3 x Rp500.000
=(Rp56.250.000)3 November 2020 Mr. A and Mr. B will receive gains/losses on T+ 1 settlement date amounting to Rp56.250.000 and (Rp56.250.000)
