Methods

Calculate(ForwardVanillaOption, EvaluationContext, GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess, int?, int?, bool, bool, int?, double?, int?, long)

Prices a forward-start European option by Monte Carlo.

public static OneAssetOptionResults Calculate(ForwardVanillaOption option, EvaluationContext context, GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess process, int? timeSteps, int? timeStepsPerYear, bool brownianBridge, bool antitheticVariate, int? requiredSamples, double? requiredTolerance, int? maxSamples, long seed)

Parameters

option ForwardVanillaOption

The option.

context EvaluationContext

The evaluation context.

process GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess

The Black-Scholes process.

timeSteps int?

The number of time steps, or null for steps per year.

timeStepsPerYear int?

The number of time steps per year, or null.

brownianBridge bool

Whether the draws are ordered by a Brownian bridge.

antitheticVariate bool

Whether antithetic variates are used.

requiredSamples int?

The number of samples, or null.

requiredTolerance double?

The absolute tolerance, or null; it takes precedence.

maxSamples int?

The most samples for a tolerance, or null for no limit.

seed long

The seed, in [1, 4294967295].

Returns

OneAssetOptionResults

The option's results, the NPV and the error estimate; the expired results when it has expired.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The option, the context or the process is null.

ArgumentException

The time steps are given neither or both ways, or aren't positive.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

A number of samples is negative, or the seed is outside its range.

NanoQLException

The option's terms are invalid, its payoff isn't plain vanilla or its exercise European, neither a tolerance nor a number of samples is given, or the samples can't reach the tolerance.
