TwoAssetBarrier

High level graphic of TwoAssetBarrier() 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. TypeFlag parameter
   
   
   Option Types cdi, cui, pdi, pui, cdo,cuo, pdo, puo
4. S1 parameter
   
   
   Underlying1 price
5. S2 parameter
   
   
   Underlying2 price
6. X parameter
   
   
   Strike price of the option
7. H parameter
   
   
   Continuous Barrier level
8. AdjBarrFreq parameter
   
   
   Monitoring frequency that you wish the continuous barrier level value entered to have. (Basically will convert the barrier from continuous to discrete. If you choose 'Continuously', the barrier will still be a Continuous barrier). Valid values are : Continuously, Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
9. T parameter
   
   
   Time to option maturity.
10. r 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.
11. b1 parameter
    
    
    For the first 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.
12. b2 parameter
    
    
    For the second 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.
13. v1 parameter
    
    
    Volatility of the first underlying.
14. v2 parameter
    
    
    Volatility of the second underlying.
15. rho parameter
    
    
    Correlation between the two assets.
16. Greek parameter
    
    
    For the option premium specify 'PREMIUM'. For all first derivatives, you can specify one of the following : 'dS1' (for the 'S1' parameter), 'dS2' (for the 'S2' parameter), 'dX' (for the 'X' parameter), 'dH' (for the 'H' parameter), 'dT' (for the 'T' parameter), 'dr' (for the 'r' parameter), 'db1' (for the 'b1' parameter), 'db2' (for the 'b2' parameter), 'dv1' (for the 'v1' parameter), 'dv2' (for the 'v2' parameter), 'drho' (for the 'rho' parameter), For second order derivatives, you can specify combinations of the first order derivatives (i.e. - 'dS1dS1', 'dv1dv1', 'dS1dv1'. )
