The values that this index return are of the form

• 1.02 meaning 102% price clean or dirty (depending on the flag dirty in the ctor) i.e. the absolute bond clean or dirty NPV is divided by the current notional at the fixing date
• 10020 meaning an absolute NPV in terms of the current notional of the underlying bond at the fixing date, again clean or dirty depending on the flag dirty in the ctor, here the notional would be 10000

The first form is returned if the flag relative in the ctor is set to true, the second if this flag is set to false.

The fixing projection (fixingDate > today) assumes that the given bond is vanilla, i.e. its present value can be calculated by discounting the cashflows retrieved with Bond::cashflows().

If the bond has a pricing engine attached and today's fixing is projected, the pricing engine's result will be used. Otherwise today's fixing will be calculated as projected fixings for dates > today, i.e. by simply discounting the bond's cashflows.

If no bond is given, only historical fixings are returned by the index and only the clean price mode and relative price mode are supported respectively. Otherwise an exception is thrown whenever a fixing is requested from the index.

To compute projected fixings for dates > today, a discountCurve is required. The other quotes and curves are optional and default as follows:

• defaultCurve: defaults to zero hazard spread
• recoveryRate: defaults to zero
• securitySpread: defaults to zero
• incomCurve: defaults to the curve build as discountCurve + securitySpread

If conditionalOnSurvival is set to true, a projected fixing will be conditional on survival until the associated bond settlement date, otherwise it will include the default probability between today and the settlement date.

If priceQuoteMethod = CurrencyPerUnit, a fixing in the fixing history will be divided by priceQuoteBaseValue before returning it.
