        The Result price displays for the defined period and summary type. For example, assume today is 10 February and a futures contract (a type of hedge position) matures in May, and the average of the next three months after the futures contract's maturity date is required to calculate the market price. Therefore, the Applicable Date From is May, and the Start Date is May and the End Date is July, and the Summary Type is Average.
