Theoretical Option Values

Greetings, I'm trying to build an indicator in TS6 which will monitor atm option values for expirations 1 and 2 months away. Anyone aware of how to accomplish this?

Here is the code for the Options Complex for TS7 but it appears to not work correctly.


{ Multiple-output function; see MULTIPLE-OUTPUT FUNCTIONS note below.

THIS CONSOLIDATED OPTIONS FUNCTION INCLUDES THE GENERALIZED BLACK-SCHOLES MODEL FOR
EUROPEAN/AMERICAN CALLS, EUROPEAN PUTS, AND THE GREEKS, PLUS THE BJERKSUND-STENSLAND
MODEL FOR AMERICAN PUTS.

THE FUNCTION INPUTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

MYASSETTYPE: Underlying Asset Type
1 = NON-DIVIDEND-PAYING STOCK
2 = DIVIDEND-PAYING STOCK
3 = FUTURES
4 = CURRENCIES
DAYSLEFT: The number of calendar days left for the option. Can use the functions
"DaysToExpiration" or "Next3rdFriday".
STRIKEPR: Strike price for the option.
ASSETPR: Underlying Asset Price.
RATE100: Risk-free annual interest rate, in percent; can pass in a constant, or
attach an appropriate index as Data 2 and pass in its price.
YIELD100: In percent; used only if MYASSETTYPE = 2, else can pass in 0.
FOREIGNRATE100: In percent; used only if MYASSETTYPE = 4, else can pass in 0.
VOLTY100: Volatility of annual return, in percent, of underlying asset; can pass in a
constant or use one of the volatility functions - ImpliedVolatility or
VolatilityStdDev.
PUTCALL: Set this to 2 for a put, 3 for a call (or use the keywords Put or Call ).
EUROAMER01: Set this to 0 for European options, 1 for American. Note that this makes
a difference in American put pricing only, all other computations remain the same.

HEDGE PARAMETERS OR "GREEKS":
DELTA = OPTION PRICE SENSITIVITY VS. ASSET PRICE
GAMMA = DELTA SENSITIVITY VS. ASSET PRICE
VEGA = OPTION PRICE SENSITIVITY VS. VOLATILITY
THETA = OPTION PRICE SENSITIVITY VS. TIME
RHO = OPTION PRICE SENSITIVITY VS. INTEREST RATE

MULTIPLE-OUTPUT FUNCTIONS

A multiple-output function has two types of parameters or "inputs" - input parameters
and input/output parameters. The values of the input parameters are passed into the
multiple-output function, but not modified by the function. The values of the input/
output parameters are passed into the multiple-output function, modified by it, and
the modified values are then inherited by - or output to - the calling routine.

The input/output parameters are often used for output purposes only, i.e., the
incoming values are ignored. The outputs are in addition to the function return. In
multiple-output functions, the function return is generally used to return an error
code, though sometimes the return may simply be a dummy value.

The input/output parameters are declared with a "ref" suffix (such as "numericref") in
the multiple-output function's declaration statements. For further clarity, the names
of the input/output parameters are generally prefixed with an "o" in the function as
well as in all the routines that call the function.

The built-in single-return WRAPPER FUNCTIONS that call the multiple-output functions
are specialized calling routines designed to offer simplified, alternate pathways to
the functionality of the underlying multiple-output functions. In the wrapper
functions, the input/output parameters are declared as local variables and generally
initialized to zero. They are passed through to the multiple-output function without
further modification. After the call, the wrapper function picks out the single
output of interest and assigns it as the return of the wrapper function.
