5.0 out of 5 stars A cookbook for the quantitative options trader, 31 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Guide to Options Pricing Formulas (Hardcover)

Have you ever wished someone took all the significant option formulas of the last 25 years and packed them into one volume? Is your calculus rusty? How about putting the formulas into Visual Basic so they can be employed directly in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or Access databases. This is the main appeal of Option Pricing Formulas, which fills a void in current option literature. As option players became more computer literate an anthology of coded option theory was clearly needed.

The book covers everything from the tried and true Black Scholes and Cox/ Rubenstein formulas to the more exotic worlds of barrier and currency translated options. Software is included with the Visual Basic code as well as preprogrammed Excel files. Think of it as a cookbook for the technically oriented option trader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your one stop source for option pricing!, 22 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Complete Guide to Options Pricing Formulas (Hardcover)

This book has most of the option pricing formulas you'll ever need. The VB code would cost you 1000's of $ if you should buy it from a financial software vendor or consulting firm. A must-have for quants everywhere.
