- README-File DelFin for Delphi v. 0.9 beta
- =========== =============================
-
-
- Thank you for trying 'DelFin' for Delphi.
-
- To integrate components to the Delphi Application Development Environment
- and have them added to and accessable to click into your applications from
- the Component palette, in Delphi, run Options | Add/Install components.
- There, select the file Optreg.PAS, and click [ OK ] (compile a new
- component-library). The new components will show up in your Component
- palette defaulting to page 'DelFin'.
-
- The library now includes two components to calculate the price and "Greeks"
- of Call and Put options based on Black and Scholes (1973) model. The components
- also calculates the implied volatility of the options.
-
- Instructions for use
-
- 1. It is your responsibility to check the validity of the data input, such as
- exercise date > current date, stock price > 0, interest rate >0, volatility >0,
- etc.
-
- 2. The demo program is a good place to familiarize yourself with the components.
- To run the demo program you should have TurboPower's Orpheus. Otherwise, the
- DEMO.EXE is included in the zip file. The DEMO source file is useful in constructing
- your own application.
-
-
- 3. All the "Greeks" are read only fields computed upon request.
-
- 4. The components are fully functional. The last exercise date is limited to 31/12/96.
-
- I hope to finish the first version until the end of this month. The shareware
- will cost $24 without sources and $59 with sources.
-
- I am developing a full set of financial modeling tools for option and fixed income
- securities. Any suggestions are welcome.
-
- Have fun with our Components
