The JC is no great fan of definitions, but God only knows, in the ISDA one would have come in handy here. You know, a “'''{{euaprov|Purchase Amount}}'''” for {{euaprov|Forward Transaction}}s, or a “'''{{euaprov|Strike  Amount}}'''” for {{euaprov|Option Transaction}}s (or a “'''{{euaprov|Transaction Amount}}'''”, for both) might have been nice, given they are the key concepts in {{euaprov|Option Transaction}}s and {{euaprov|Forward Transaction}}s.

As for {{euaprov|Allowances to be Delivered}} — okay, there is at least a term for the physical half of that, but it’s rubbish. What about “'''{{euaprov|Delivery Amount}}'''”?

There is a distinction between the “{{euaprov|Number of Allowances}}” — effectively the notional size of the whole trade — and the “{{euaprov|Allowances to be Delivered}}” — the portion of it that is settling on any given day. The difference is that American options can settle in part, on any day in the term of the Transaction. Forwards typically don’t — they all settle on a pre-agreed settlement date


(To be fair to the Emissions ninjas at IETA, they ''do'' have this concept: “'''{{ietaprov|Contract Amount}}'''”).
