How can one calculate a Vanilla Swap DV01 / Delta?

ElMariachi
As a basic risk measure, how can I calculate a vanilla interest rate swap's DV01/Delta and Convexity?

Hi,

you can use qlVanillaSwapFixedLegBPS to compute the dv01 of fixed leg,

for convexity I think you have to recalculate it by shifting up and down
de curve and then using the following formula:

Libor_Convexity = (PV_SWAP_shiftdown + PV_SWAP_shiftup - 2 * PV_SWAP) /
(PV_SWAP * 2 * (Rate_BP_Shift_Up / 10000) ^ 2)

where Rate_BP_Shift_Up = 1

regards,
