Exposures from transactions will be included in the time series of exposures used for daily calculation of the Initial Margin Spot Market (IMSM) and will be included in the Current Exposure Spot Market (CESM) as well. The exposures will be netted with exposures from all other spot market transactions providing full cross-margining effects across all cleared spot venues of ECC.
