Hello Jean-Mathieu,

 

Are you sure a 1D optimization loop is necessary? I think one can still use the classic formula :

 

fairSpread1_ = spread1_ - NPV_/(legBPS_[0]/basisPoint);

 

Best,

 

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

 

I’m not sure the floatfloatswap class is fully functional right now. 

 

Alternatively, you can build each leg using its predefined constructor (iborLeg in ql/cashflows/iborCoupon.hpp, OvernightLeg in ql/cashflows/overnightindexedcoupon.hpp, etc) and pass the legs to the generic quantlib::swap constructor.

 

However, getting the fair spread value requires to set some 1D optimization loop, and I doubt this functionality has been implemented yet except for the fixed/float vanillaSwap class.

 

Best,

 

Jean-Mathieu Vermosen

Hello everyone,

 

Does anyone know how it is possible to price basis swap with QL (floating vs floating : ibor/ibor, ON index/ON index and ibor vs ON index)? Is the floatfloatswap class the most appropriate tool to calculate fair spread ?

 

Thank you,

 

Pierre
