Detailed Description

Commodity APO Engine base class Correlation is parametrized as \(\rho(s, t) = \exp(-\beta * \abs(s - t))\) where \(s\) and \(t\) are times to futures expiry.

Member Function Documentation

isModelDependent()

bool isModelDependent ( ) const

protected

In certain cases, the APO value is not model dependent. This method returns true if the APO value is model dependent. If the APO value is not model dependent, this method returns false and populates the results with the model independent value.

barrierTriggered()

bool barrierTriggered ( const Real  price, const bool  logPrice  ) const

protected

Check barriers on given (log-)price

alive()

bool alive ( const bool  barrierTriggered ) const

protected

Check whether option is alive depending on whether barrier was triggered
