# Options
# Input list should be a list of symbols in a form of

#

# 1. All options from one page
# Advantages: just one http fetch per one underlying
# Disadvantages: no volume, no open interest, parsing takes long
# 2. Each option data from a separate subframe
# Advantages: all data (volume, oi); quick parse
# Disadvantages: many fetches if many options requested; cannot be done as first;
# date label unavailable
#
# Especially the last disadvantage is important: to get the address of the subframe,
# the main frame has to be fetched and parsed.
#
# The algorithm below uses the first possibility when all options for a given underlying
# are requested, and the second, when individual options are requested (unles $AEXOPT_USE_SUBFRAMES is 0).

=head1 NAME
Finance::Quote::AEX Obtain quotes from Amsterdam Euronext eXchange
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("aex","AAB 93-08 7.5"); # Only query AEX
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("dutch","AAB 93-08 7.5"); # Failover to other sources OK
# Fetch specific option
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("aex_options","PHI C OCT 2007 20.00");
# Fetch all options in PHI
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("aex_options","PHI");
# Fetch future in AEX
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("aex_futures","FTI OCT 2005");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module fetches information from the "Amsterdam Euronext
eXchange AEX" http://www.aex.nl. Only local Dutch investment funds
and all traded here options and futures are available.
This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. It's
also possible to load it explicity by placing "AEX" in the argument
list to Finance::Quote->new().
Information obtained by this module may be covered by www.aex.nl
terms and conditions See http://www.aex.nl/ for details.
=head2 Stocks And Indices
This module provides both the "aex" and "dutch" fetch methods for fetching
stock and index quotes. Please use the "dutch" fetch method if you wish
to have failover with future sources for Dutch stocks. Using the "aex"
method will guarantee that your information only comes from the Euronext
Amsterdam website.
=head2 Options
To fetch stock or index options quotes, use the "aex_options" method.
Specifying which option to fetch can be done in two ways: naming the
underlying value, or naming a specific option. In the first case, all
tradable options for the given underlying will be returned. In the second
case, only the requested options will be returned. When naming an option,
use a string consisting of the following single-space-separated fields
(case insensitive):
<underlying symbol>
<call (C) or put (P) letter>
<three-letter expiration month>
<four-digit expiration year>
<strike price, including decimal point>
Example: "PHI C OCT 2007 20.00" is a call option in Philips, expiration
month October 2007, strike price 20.00 euro.
Since options series come and go (options expire, new option series start
being traded), a special label 'options' returns a list of all options
found (fetched) for a given underlying. This label is only present for
the underlyings (if requested).
When fetching individual options, more labels are returned (see below),
because in such case option data is fetched from a subframe. When this is
not relevant, the following trade-off may be considered: when fetching
options for a given underlying, all options are returned, what may take
up to 30s for 300 options (e.g for AEX Index); when fetching individual
options, it takes ca 0.5s per option (on Pentium 75Mhz).
=head2 Futures
To fetch futures quotes in stocks or indices, use the "aex_futures"
method. Specifying which option to fetch can be done in two ways,
similarly to options: providing the futures symbol, or naming a specific
futures series. In the first case, all tradable futures series will
be returned. In the second case, only the requested futures will be
returned. When naming a specific futures series use a string consisting
of the following single-space-separated fields (case insensitive):
<futures symbol>
<three-letter expiration month>
<four-digit expiration year>
Example: "FTI OCT 2003" is a futures contract in AEX Index, expiration
month October 2003.
Similarly to options, a special label 'futures' returns a list of all futures
found (fetched) for a given futures symbol. This label is only present
for futures symbols requested, not for individual futures.
=head1 LABELS RETURNED
The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::AEX :
name, last, date, p_change, bid, offer, open, high, low, close,
volume, currency, method, exchange, time.
The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::AEX "aex_options"
method: name, options, last, price (=last), date, time, bid, ask, open,
high, low, close, currency, method, exchange.
The following additional labels may be returned by "aex_options" when
fetching individual options: volume oi trade_volume bid_time bid_volume
ask_time ask_volume. In such case label date is not returned.
The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::AEX "aex_futures"
method: name, price, last, date, time, change, bid, ask, open, high, low,
close, volume, currency, method, exchange.
