Monte Carlo pricing engine missing in QuantLibXL

Max-118
Hi,

I am new to QuantLib and QuantLibXL, and trying to explore them. Hope I can contribute to the project in future.

Right now, I want to use Monte Carlo European engine to price European vanilla option using QuantLibXL add-in in MS Excel. However I cannot find any Monte Carlo engine in QuantLibXL (version 0.8.0), though it is available in QuantLib C++ library (e.g. MakeMCEuropeanEngine).

So if I want to add those missing pricing engine (say Monte Carlo) to QuantLibXL, how should I proceed to modify the QuantLibXL source code? Any guidelines or suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Max

Welcome, your contribution would be much appreciated.

I'm in the process of writing a tutorial explaining how to expose new
QuantLib functionality to QuantLibXL.  The first draft will be ready the
week of 8 Oct, I'll post the link to quantlib-users.

An old document on that topic is at
http://quantlib.org/quantlibaddin/extending.html, many of the details are
out of date but the basic idea remains unchanged and it might be enough to
get you started.

Regards,
Eric
