Detailed Description

Barrier option on a single asset.

The analytic pricing engine will be used if none if passed.

Examples:

Replication.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void setupArguments (PricingEngine::arguments *) const [virtual]

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 Option.

Reimplemented in DividendBarrierOption.

Volatility impliedVolatility (Real price, const boost::shared_ptr< GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess > & process, Real accuracy = 1.0e-4, Size maxEvaluations = 100, Volatility minVol = 1.0e-7, Volatility maxVol = 4.0) const

Warning
