DESCRIPTION

26       This module fetches information from the "Amsterdam Euronext eXchange
27       AEX" http://www.aex.nl. Only local Dutch investment funds and all
28       traded here options and futures are available.
29
30       This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. It's also
31       possible to load it explicity by placing "AEX" in the argument list to
32       Finance::Quote->new().
33
34       Information obtained by this module may be covered by www.aex.nl terms
35       and conditions See http://www.aex.nl/ for details.
36
37       Stocks And Indices
38
39       This module provides both the "aex" and "dutch" fetch methods for
40       fetching stock and index quotes.  Please use the "dutch" fetch method
41       if you wish to have failover with future sources for Dutch stocks.
42       Using the "aex" method will guarantee that your information only comes
43       from the Euronext Amsterdam website.
44
45       Options
46
47       To fetch stock or index options quotes, use the "aex_options" method.
48       Specifying which option to fetch can be done in two ways: naming the
49       underlying value, or naming a specific option.  In the first case, all
50       tradable options for the given underlying will be returned.  In the
51       second case, only the requested options will be returned.  When naming
52       an option, use a string consisting of the following single-space-sepa‐
53       rated fields (case insensitive):
54
55           <underlying symbol>
56           <call (C) or put (P) letter>
57           <three-letter expiration month>
58           <four-digit expiration year>
59           <strike price, including decimal point>
60
61       Example: "PHI C OCT 2007 20.00" is a call option in Philips, expiration
62       month October 2007, strike price 20.00 euro.
63
64       Since options series come and go (options expire, new option series
65       start being traded), a special label 'options' returns a list of all
66       options found (fetched) for a given underlying.  This label is only
67       present for the underlyings (if requested).
68
69       When fetching individual options, more labels are returned (see below),
70       because in such case option data is fetched from a subframe. When this
71       is not relevant, the following trade-off may be considered: when fetch‐
72       ing options for a given underlying, all options are returned, what may
73       take up to 30s for 300 options (e.g for AEX Index); when fetching indi‐
74       vidual options, it takes ca 0.5s per option (on Pentium 75Mhz).
75
76       Futures
77
78       To fetch futures quotes in stocks or indices, use the "aex_futures"
79       method.  Specifying which option to fetch can be done in two ways, sim‐
80       ilarly to options: providing the futures symbol, or naming a specific
81       futures series.  In the first case, all tradable futures series will be
82       returned.  In the second case, only the requested futures will be
83       returned.  When naming a specific futures series use a string consist‐
84       ing of the following single-space-separated fields (case insensitive):
85
86           <futures symbol>
87           <three-letter expiration month>
88           <four-digit expiration year>
89
90       Example: "FTI OCT 2003" is a futures contract in AEX Index, expiration
91       month October 2003.
92
93       Similarly to options, a special label 'futures' returns a list of all
94       futures found (fetched) for a given futures symbol.  This label is only
95       present for futures symbols requested, not for individual futures.

103       "aex_options" method: name, options, last, price (=last), date, time,
104       bid, ask, open, high, low, close, currency, method, exchange.
