# Which metrics can I include in my valuation report?

LUSID can report many hundreds of [metrics](/v1/docs/what-is-a-metric) about almost any aspect of the valuation process. Not all are useful, and not all may be valid for each [type of instrument](/v1/docs/what-instruments-does-lusid-support) you wish to value.

To help you discover useful/valid metrics for a combination of a particular instrument type and a [pricing model valid for that type](/v1/docs/what-pricing-models-can-i-use-in-my-valuation), call either:

- The [QueryInstrumentCapabilities](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api#operation/PostInstrumentCapabilities) API with an example economic definition of an instrument type and a valid pricing model.
- The [GetExistingInstrumentCapabilities](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api#operation/GetInstrumentCapabilities) API with the [LUID](/v1/docs/what-is-a-lusid-instrument-id-or-luid) of an actual instrument and a valid pricing model.

> **Note**: If you find you need an additional license to use these APIs, [contact technical support](/v1/docs/how-do-i-use-the-support-centre).

Consider the following example, of a call to the `QueryInstrumentCapabilities` API with the economic definition of a `FxForward` in the body of the request and the `ForwardFromCurve` pricing model specified in the URL:

```json
curl -X POST "https://<your-domain>.lusid.com/api/api/instruments/capabilities?model=ForwardFromCurve"
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-API-access-token>"
  -H "Content-Type: application/json-patch+json"
  -d '{
        "instrumentType": "FxForward",
        "startDate": "2021-11-15T10:00:00.0000000+00:00",
        "maturityDate": "2022-05-15T10:00:00.0000000+00:00",
        "domAmount": 1000000,
        "domCcy": "EUR",
        "fgnAmount": -1200000,
        "fgnCcy": "USD"
     }'
```

The response contains:

- A list of [features](/v1/docs/what-are-instrument-features), if available for this instrument type.
- The [market data](/v1/docs/what-market-data-does-my-valuation-require) your recipe must be able to locate.
- Useful metrics you can include in your valuation report. As an example, see the `supportedAddresses` array below. Note the metrics suggested, and the format in which they are presented, may change over time:

```json
{
  "instrumentId": "",
  "model": "ForwardFromCurve",
  "features": [],
  "supportedAddresses": [
    "Valuation/InstrumentPV",
    "Valuation/PV",
    "Valuation/DirtyPriceKey",
    "Valuation/CleanPriceKey",
    "Valuation/InstrumentAccrued",
    "Valuation/Accrued",
    "Valuation/EffectiveAt",
    "Valuation/InstrumentExposure",
    "Valuation/Model/Name",
    "Valuation/Model/Approach",
    "Valuation/PV/Ccy",
    "Valuation/PV/Amount",
    "Valuation/CleanPV",
    "Valuation/Exposure/Ccy",
    "Valuation/Exposure/Amount",
    "Valuation/Exposure",
    "Valuation/Pnl/*
  ],
  "economicDependencies": [
   {
      "domesticCurrency": "EUR",
      "foreignCurrency": "USD",
      "curveType": "FxFwdCurve",
      "date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",
      "dependencyType": "FxForwardsDependency"
    },
    {
      "currency": "EUR",
      "date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",
      "dependencyType": "DiscountingDependency"
    },
    {
      "currency": "USD",
      "date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",
      "dependencyType": "CashDependency"
    },
    {
      "currency": "EUR",
      "date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",
      "dependencyType": "CashDependency"
    },
    {
      "domesticCurrency": "EUR",
      "foreignCurrency": "USD",
      "date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.0000000+00:00",
      "dependencyType": "FxDependency"
    },
  ],
  ...
}
```

You can include any listed metric when you [perform a valuation](/v1/docs/how-do-i-perform-a-valuation).
