When a contract is approved in the system, the system assigned the approved contract into a MTM group.
A MTM group is a placeholder where contracts are kept and valued on a daily basis based on the commodities and price series setup.
The Hierarchy of how contract is kept is: 1) Book 2) Stratey 3) MTM Group.
When a contract is first approved, the contract is assigned to a MTM Group in a "Default" Strategy of the Contract Book.
To view the MTM Group of a contract go to Trading and then to the Physical/Paper -> MTM Group tab.
In MTM Group, below are the information provided:
For Physical, a new MTM Group is created for every contract approved. The name of the MTM group is the combination of Commodities + Counterparty + start and End Date.

Paper contract are placed in MTM Group of similar properties such as similar commodities, counterparty and pricing period. The name of a swap contract MTM Group is the combination of Commodites + Counterparty + pricing period. The name of a future contract MTM Group is the combination of Commodites + pricing period.
