TYPICAL OBJECTS OF TYPE Model[Vanilla Option]

VanOptMdl

</defs>

This type represents that represents all modelling assumptions needed in valuation algorithms concerning objects of type Vanilla Option.
The pricing succeeds by any of 5 different methods listed in Pricing Approach

The volatility input is represented by an object of type Vol Curve, of which the Vol Input may be Flat, but may also be Maturity or Maturity-Strike
In the special case of fx options, the volatility input can also be ATM-RR-BF

If the "correct" volatility input is not known, the functions Implied Vol and Create Implied Vol Table allows the calculation of the volatility implied by any given set of option prices.

The following labels may be assigned to the key Output of the Price function in order for the latter to return the respective quantities.
List of valid values:
Delta
Refers to the output of QuantLib's delta function.


Gamma
Refers to the output of QuantLib's gamma function.


Price

The output is a number that represents the price - also known as NPV (Net Present Value) - of the referenced tradable as of the trade date
Note the applicable trade date equals the global trade date, except if overwriten by the optional entry As Of
The cash flows occurring on the trade date are included only if Trade Date CFs is set to TRUE


Rho
Refers to the output of QuantLib's rho function.


Theta
Refers to the output of QuantLib's theta function.


Vega
Refers to the output of QuantLib's vega function.
