ComplexChooser

High level graphic of ComplexChooser() function with parameters. Blue square node is the actual function with the parameters ordered.

1. ValueDate parameter
   
   
   Valuation Date (typically equal to Today's date)
2. dayCounter parameter
   
   
   For any input parameter within this function that represents a dividend rate, risk free rate, foreign rate or holding cost rate, these rates will be defined as annually compounded using the DayCounter defined within this parameter. Thus if 'actual365' is used for this 'dayCounter' parameter, then all input parameters that represent a dividend, risk free, foreign or holding cost rates will be defined as annually compounded Actual365 rates.
3. Underlying parameter
   
   
   Underlying price, curve
4. StrikeC parameter
   
   
   Strike price of the call option.
5. StrikeP parameter
   
   
   Strike price of the put option.
6. Timet1 parameter
   
   
   Time at which the option choices will be decided.
7. TimeC parameter
   
   
   Expiration date of the call option.
8. TimeP parameter
   
   
   Expiration date of the put option.
9. Rate parameter
   
   
   For the underlying (equity, futures, FX or commodity), this should be an annualised rate (risk free rate or foreign rate). If this is an option on a FX underlying, then if the underlying is quoted as domestic/foreign then this rate will be the domestic rate. If, however, the FX underlying is quoted as foreign/domestic then this will be the foreign rate.
10. B parameter
    
    
    For the underlying (equity, futures, FX or commodity), this should be an annualised rate (dividend rate, risk free rate, foreign rate or holding cost rate respectively). If this is an option on a FX underlying, then if the underlying is quoted as domestic/foreign then this rate will be the foreign rate. If, however, the FX underlying is quoted as foreign/domestic then this will be the domestic rate.
11. Vol parameter
    
    
    Volatility of the underlying.
12. Greek parameter
    
    
    For the option premium specify 'PREMIUM'. For all first derivatives, you can specify one of the following : 'dUnderlying' (for the 'Underlying' parameter), 'dStrikeC' (for the 'StrikeC' parameter), 'dStrikeP' (for the 'StrikeP' parameter), 'dTimet1' (for the 'Timet1' parameter), 'dTimeC' (for the 'TimeC' parameter), 'dTimeP' (for the 'TimeP' parameter), 'dRate' (for the 'Rate' parameter), 'dB' (for the 'B' parameter), 'dVol' (for the 'Vol' parameter), For second order derivatives, you can specify combinations of the first order derivatives (i.e. - 'dUnderlyingdUnderlying', 'dVoldVol', 'dUnderlyingdVol'. )
