In Bloomberg API how do you specify to get FX forwards as a spread rather than absolute values?
- by Nick Fortescue
How do you explicitly request fx forwards as outrights using the bloomberg API?
In the Bloomberg terminal you can choose whether to get FX Forwards as absolute rates (outrights) or as offsets from Spots (Points) by doing XDF, hitting 7, then the option is about half way down. 0 means outrights, and 1 means offfsets.
With most defaults you can explicitly set them in the API, so your code gives the same result whichever computer you run on. How do you set this one in a V3 API query?
