Example

Code below illustrates a couple of examples illustrating the Black Scholes formula usage:

Example using C# extension methods:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using Community.Components;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies { public class MyStrategy : WealthScript { private string str (double s) { return String.Format("{0:0.00}", s); } protected override void Execute() { double price = Bars.Close[Bars.Count-1]; if( price < 10 ) Abort(); double call = price.BlackScholes( price + 5.0d, 60, 1d, 20.0, CalcEx.CallPutFlag.Call ); // days=60, rate=1%, volatility=20%=0.20 double put = price.BlackScholes( price - 5.0d, 60, 1d, 20.0, CalcEx.CallPutFlag.Put ); // days=60, rate=1%, volatility=20%=0.20 PrintDebug( string.Concat( "Call = ", str(call), " Put = ", str(put) ) ); } } }

Legacy syntax example:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using Community.Components;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies { public class MyStrategy : WealthScript { private string str (double s) { return String.Format("{0:0.00}", s); } protected override void Execute() { double price = Bars.Close[Bars.Count-1]; if( price < 10 ) Abort(); double call = Calculate.BlackScholes( Calculate.CallPutFlag.Call, price, price + 5.0d, 60, 1d, 20.0 ); // days=60, rate=1%, volatility=20%=0.20 double put = Calculate.BlackScholes( Calculate.CallPutFlag.Put, price, price - 5.0d, 60, 1d, 20.0 ); // days=60, rate=1%, volatility=20%=0.20 PrintDebug( string.Concat( "Call = ", str(call), " Put = ", str(put) ) ); } } }
