Hello,

Please find attached a file I found concerning the pricing of an option.
I can't find in the VBA code to what correspond the values: S, X, T, r, v, d
Where are they specified?

Thanks a lot

regards

It is explained on their site


In the following code

OptionType is either “C” for a call or “P” for a put
S is the stock price
X is the strike price
T is the time to expiry
r is the risk free rate
v is the volatility
d is the dividend yield

Hi thanks
I know I read it but how come excel detects the letters as the corresponding variables without being specified in the vba code?

It is specified in the code, the parameters are passed in order.

Thanks a lot xld you mean that
dOne(S, X, T, r, v, d) corresponds in order to StockPrice;StrikePrice;TimeToExpiry;RiskFreeRate;Volatility;Dividend

Yes, that is what what the website that you read says. In that UDF, it does not use OptionType.
