Detailed Description

CDS option.

The side of the swaption is set by choosing the side of the CDS. A receiver CDS option is a right to buy an underlying CDS selling protection and receiving a coupon. A payer CDS option is a right to buy an underlying CDS buying protection and paying coupon.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setupArguments()

void setupArguments ( PricingEngine::arguments *  ) const
virtual

When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.

Reimplemented from Instrument.
