  • Page 4: Introduction

    The Monroe TRADER II is a versatile investment tool designed to provide a simplified method for computing bonds and other financial instruments. TRADER II provide fixed income professionals and investors the capability of performing basic trading and investment calculations. TRADER II groups security instruments into 6 general categories.
  • Page 5: General Entries

    NUMBERS Numbers are keyed in as written using the decimal point key to define the position of the decimal point in the number, if any. The decimal point key is not necessary for numbers without a fractional part. CHG SIGN is used to make a postive number negative, or a negative number positive. DATES Dates are entered just like numbers, using the decimal point key to separate the month from the day-of- the-month:...
  • Page 6: Prices

    Remember, when entering a date without a century, the TRADER II assumes a valid date between January 1, 1970 and December 31, 2069. If you want to use a date not in this range, include the century. January 1, 2070 may be entered as 1.012070. EXAMPLE: Jan.
  • Page 7: Status Modes

    STATUS MODE The CODE, CALL/MATURITY, and COUPONS ER YEAR keys are considered to set modes of operation for keys which perform calculations. The “status” of all the modes is continuously displayed on line 1 of th edisplay. Each mode is defined in the Description of Keys section and illustrated in the example calculations.
  • Page 8: Description Of Keys

    DISPLAY This key is used with the other keys to display the current values stored in the TRADER II. The result of pressing the DISPLAY key, if any, will be explained as each key is defined below. C/CE (Clear/Clear Entry) When an entry is not being made, single depression of C/CE clears any pending arithmetic sequence in progress, any constant, as well as the entry disply, allowing you to start the calculation over.
  • Page 9 CALL/ Selects the calculation mode of subsequent calculations. This key toggles between MATURITY the following three modes: 1. MATURITY – selects calculations to maturity date only. 2. CALL – selects calculations to call date only 3. CALL+MAT – selects calculations to call and to maturiyt. When both values are calculated, they are displayed side-by-side (Call on the left and Maturity on the right), the TRADER II retains the lower of the two for use in subsequent calculations.

  • Page 11 Accepts the entry of a quantity of securities, per thousand face value, (or uses previously stored number) to compute extended price less concession (principal amount) and accrued interest. DISPLAY, Accepts the entry of a quantity of securities, per thousand face value, (or uses previously stored number) to compute net amount (extended total).
  • Page 12 FUTURE Accepts a future value amount; or pressing this key without a number entry, calculates VALUE the future value. compound value of a series of prior payments, DISPLAY, FUTURE VALUE will display the most recent entry stored. PAYMENT Accepts a periodic payment amount; or pressing this key without a number entry, calculates a periodic payment amount.
  • Page 13 Stores any security currently in working memory into a specific bond memory location BOND according to the number (1-50) entered prior to pressing the key. If no storage location is specified, the TRADER II will automatically store the bond into the next available location. Storing a bond in location 1 will erase any bond previously stored but does not affect the bonds stored in locations 2 through 50.
  • Page 14: Security Code 0

    Security Code 0 calculates Municipal, Corporate, and Federal Agency Bonds as well as any security which pays periodic interest on a 30/360 (30 day month/360 day year) calendar. Refer to Appendix B for a more complete list of securities and the day count basis. PRICE AND YIELD TO MATURITY EXAMPLE: A 8.5% Municipal Bond maturing on April 9, 11996 is sold to yield 9%.
  • Page 15: Callable Bonds

    The maturity date in the previous example should have been April 15, 1996, not April 9, 1996. Recalculate the yield. ENTER PRESS 4.1596 DATE Since the dollar price is already stored, there is no need to re-enter. The DISPLAY key together with the TO PRICE key will recall the previous dollar price.
  • Page 16 ENTER PRESS COUPON 4.2516 DATE 4.2596 CALL DATE BEGIN 102.5 CALL PRICE PRICE Since the price “to call” is lower, that value is stored so you may extend the trade (See Extensions). Verify which value is stored by depressing DISPLAY, TO PRICE. ENTER PRESS DISPLAY,...
  • Page 17: Yield To Investor

    YIELD TO INVESTOR The CALL/MATURITY mode can also be used to calculate “yield to the investor” for a bond currently held. To calculate the yield to investor, treat the bond as if it were called. Enter the market price on the CALL PRICE key, and settlement date on the CALL DATE BEGIN key.
  • Page 18 Once the number of bonds has been entered using one of the above methods, that number of bonds remain stored and need not be re-entered to proceed to another extension. The number of price or yield is calculated. EXAMPLE: A 6% Municipal Bond maturing on October 25, 1990 at a price of 90. Find the yield, the extended principal, accrued interest and net amount for 100 bonds sold on June 24, 1987.
  • Page 19: Dated Bonds

    DATED BONDS To calculate extensions for bonds which have an irregular first coupon (Dated Bonds), enter the dated date then press ISSUE/DATED. Then proceed in the normal manner as for regular bonds. The dated date may be entered at any time prior to performing the calculation for which is to be used. The dated date will remain stored until it is removed by entering 0 and pressing the ISSUE/DATED key.
  • Page 20: After-Tax Calculations

    The TRADER II has the capability of calculating several after-tax functions. These calculations are always based on either or both of two different tax rates, the income tax and capital gains rates. The TRADER II can be used to compute after-tax calculations for notes as well as bonds.
  • Page 21: After-Tax Yield To Price

    Set the FED/MUNI switch and status line as follows: ENTER PRESS COUPON 1.0592 DATE 33.28 RATE 92.625 YIELD AFTER Find the municipal equivalent after-tax yield for the bond above. ENTER PRESS 0.28 RATE AFTER AFTER-TAX YIELD TO PRICE To find the price which must be paid to obtain a desired after-tax yield (calculate the before-tax price), use the DISPLAY, AFTER-TAX keys.

  • Page 23: Zero-Coupon Bonds

    ZERO-COUPON BONDS Zero Coupon or stripped coupon bonds can be calculated exactly as a normal coupon bond by entering a coupon interest rate of 0%. EXAMPLE: Find the yield of a Zero Coupon Bond that matures on January 01, 1999 at a price of 24.90 on June 24, 1987.
  • Page 24: Annual-Coupon And Eurobonds

    ANNUAL-COUPON AND EUROBONDS Most domestic bonds are issued to pay coupon interest semi-annually. However, most Eurobonds, pay coupons on a annual basis. EXAMPLE: Find yield to maturity for $25,000.00 annual-coupon bond with a 7.5% coupon currently available at a 7% yield, maturing October 25, 1989. ENTER PRESS COUPONS...
  • Page 25: Duration

    DURATION Duration is a measure of the timing of the cash flow (i.e., the interest payments and the principal repayment) to be received from a given coupon security. The duration of the security is equal to (a) the sum of the present values of each of the cash flows weighted by the time to receipt of each cash flow divided by (b) the total of the present values of the cash flows.
  • Page 26: Value Of A Basis Point

    VALUE OF A BASIS POINT The VAL key provides two calculations which combine several TRADER II functions to obtain the movement of either price or yield. VAL calculates the difference in dollar price, if the yield moves by .05% (Codes 0 – 4 and 6) or if the discount rate changes by .01% for Code 5. DISPLAY, VAL calculates the difference in yield in basis points if the price changes by 1/32 The VAL key also allows you to enter other spread values.
  • Page 27: Security Code 1

    SECURITY CODE 1 Code 1 calculates Government Bonds as well as any coupon security which pays periodic interest on an Actual (Actual days in a month/actual days in a year) calendar. All of the calculations and options available in Code 0 can also be performed using Code 1. Refer to Appendix B for a more complete list of securities and the day count basis.
  • Page 28: Odd Coupons

    ODD COUPONS Some bonds are issued with an :”odd first coupon”. This is a bond for which there is more (or less) than one normal coupon period from issue date to the date of the first coupon payment. For example, a semi- annual coupon is considered to be “short”...
  • Page 29: Price And Yield To Maturity

    PRICE AND YIELD TO MATURITY The TRADER II will consider the odd coupon for price, yield and accrued interest calculations whenever the settlement dat is prior to the 1 (0) and press the 1 COUPON DATE key. This method allows the correct accrued interest to be computed from the issue/dated date but not in the price or yield calculation.
  • Page 30: Security Codes 2 - 4

    Security Codes 2, 3 and 4 is used to calculate notes paying interest at maturity. Notes may be calculated based on three different day count basis according to the code entered: CODE Entries describing a note are the same for Security Code 0. The interest rate us entered using the coupon key and the issue date on the issue/dated key.
  • Page 31: Note Extensions

    NOTE EXTENSIONS Extensions for these securities are done in exactly the same manner as for Code 0 securities, except the number of bonds entry prior to the extension is replaced with the face value is retained and does not have to be re-entered for subsequent extensions.
