This reminds me that compiling QuantLib is such a pain in the ass. I love QuantLib though - I use it via C# and there is an Excel plugin already available in the source code.<p>As regards your example:<p>(a) single-name options usually have an American exercise-type.<p>(b) the main difficulty (and the thing one would actually pay for) is getting and maintaining a vol-surface for pricing these things - using flat vol to price this is quite inaccurate and risky.
Perhaps someone can help me with a related capability. I am looking for a tool to administer and query the price of structured products (options, securities, indices, etc)<p>On the administration side: Manage which clients, have been sold which products, value of the product (notional/sold value) and maturity date.
On the valuation side: link to treasury and banking systems, and various price feeds to determine current value of structured product.<p>Is there anything off-the shelf that any of you are aware off?
Neat. You should make it an app using the new 2013 excel applications <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/apps/fp142161(v=office.15)" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/apps/fp142161...</a>
