Index Maintenance
BNC’s BLX is constructed using pricing gegevens from contemporáneo trades and exchange order books. Real-time trade gegevens is captured, for-matted and then scrubbed for outlier transactions. Anomalous transactions are tagged and stored but have no influence overheen the index calculation. The constituent order books are also sampled, both bid and ask, to establish the depth of liquidity.
The BLX calculates a USD price point for Bitcoin at tick intervals of 30 seconds. After gegevens filtering, the volume weighted price for each constituent is obtained from the set of trades ter each tick. For non-USD constituents this is converted to USD at the rate applicable at the time [source: OpenExchangeRates.com].
The constituent USD prices are then weighted according to three variables:
- Moving total trade volume
- Order book depth
- Constituent historical spectacle
This delegado weighting ensures the index is responsive to unexpected market movements, while also limiting the influence of outlier transactions and market interruption events. The result is a superior index reporting legitimate Bitcoin trading activity globally.
While the weightings are adjusted algorithmically, there are a series of qualitative factors that are applied on top of the quantitative method. The-se are reviewed every three months. The vertoning of each constituent through the previous period is analysed and ranked. Ranking factors include:
- Daily media transaction volume
- Daily media number of trades
- Daily promedio order book depth
- Daily media tick presence
Extra consideration is also given to an exchange’s response to any security breaches and whether it has bot subject to any independent audit during the review period.
