Switch A futures-trading strategy involving the offset of one contract with entry into another position that has nearly identical details but a longer expiration. Commonly referred to as a "roll forward". Notes: A switch is used by investors wishing to maintain their current positions in contracts that are nearing expiry.For example, let's say that it is currently Jan 2004, and an energy company that will have 100,000 barrels of oil to sell in Jun 2006 wants to hedge its position. However, the company does not simply buy the Jul 2006 oil futures contract because the company deems this contract too illiquid. It requires a contract to have a delivery period of no more than 13 months in advance. A possible hedging strategy for the company is to short the appropriate number of Jul 2005 contracts, in Jun 2005, close out the Jul 2005 position, and then switch to the Jul 2006 contract.

The unit derives its signal to function from the press opening sequence either through the full open limit switch which exists in the press or through an optical sensor supplied with the unit. The shot control velocity profile can be programmed in up to six separate motion blocks, and four electronic limit switch settings are available for initiating vacuum, start of intensification and follow through. An LCD display shows a message if there is a problem with a component such as a fuse, limit switch, valve, or thermocouple. |
