Variance swap.

Warning:
This class does not manage seasoned variance swaps.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ VarianceSwap()

VarianceSwap ( Position::Type  position,
Real  strike,
Real  notional,
const Date startDate,
const Date maturityDate 
)

Definition at line 26 of file varianceswap.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ isExpired()

bool isExpired ( ) const
overridevirtual

returns whether the instrument might have value greater than zero.

Implements Instrument.

Definition at line 72 of file varianceswap.cpp.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ strike()

Real strike ( ) const

Definition at line 120 of file varianceswap.hpp.

◆ position()

Position::Type position ( ) const

Definition at line 128 of file varianceswap.hpp.

◆ startDate()

Date startDate ( ) const

Definition at line 112 of file varianceswap.hpp.

◆ maturityDate()

Date maturityDate ( ) const

Definition at line 116 of file varianceswap.hpp.

◆ notional()

Real notional ( ) const

Definition at line 124 of file varianceswap.hpp.

◆ variance()

Real variance ( ) const

Definition at line 35 of file varianceswap.cpp.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ setupArguments()

void setupArguments ( PricingEngine::arguments ) const
overridevirtual

When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.

Reimplemented from Instrument.

Definition at line 46 of file varianceswap.cpp.

◆ fetchResults()

void fetchResults ( const PricingEngine::results r) const
overridevirtual

When a derived result structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to read from it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.

Reimplemented from Instrument.

Definition at line 57 of file varianceswap.cpp.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ setupExpired()

void setupExpired ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This method must leave the instrument in a consistent state when the expiration condition is met.

Reimplemented from Instrument.

Definition at line 41 of file varianceswap.cpp.
