Hi, I'm trying to use Quant lib to price FX options. For some dates, when the settlement date is 2 days after the evaluation, and delivery two days after the expiry I get perfect agreement between bloomberg OVML and quant lib. However, if there is a weekened/holiday between expiry/delivery or evaluation/settlement then there is no longer agreement. How do I get this behavior in quantlib so I can accurately price options?
expected = 4.613072
error=(calculated-expected)/expected
print(f"Calculated value = {calculated:.5f}, Expected value = {expected:.5f}, Error = {error*100:.8f}%")`
The output matches Bloomberg:
363 Fwd matching bloomberg 1.2623661599471252 Forward rate 1.262857142857143 Calculated value = 4.61307, Expected value = 4.61307, Error = 0.00000739%
But shifting the expiry to 02/15/19 gives:
365 Fwd matching bloomberg 1.2623661599471252 Forward rate 1.262857142857143 Calculated value = 4.62657, Expected value = 4.62016, Error = 0.13883435%
which no longer matches.
Is there a way to consider the correct dates in this calculation?
Thanks for the help! :)
