(rereading my old post I see my typo I wrote B] instead of A] ..my explanation was obiusly referring to 100vs77 i.e. the case where ...

<t>Yes Bearish you are rightIn Tuckman I think there is the idea of "tail the hedge"..

<t>Nice book..if you refer at B], I don't think it is a tail risk, it is a pure directional risk: you are outright short and not so little with respect to bond position (26 (naked short)/74 (bond equivalent) =35.14%) " Tail risk is the risk of an asset or portfolio of assets moving more than 3 stand...

<t>Of course the code can be completed and improved. It provides some examples. Starting from them you integrate the code to solve new problems. For joint bootstrapping you need to add new constrains and use a method to solve and find a best fit solution. In the code, for this kind of problems we us...

<r>Hi surya2cents,to build an [$]i [$] forwarding curve (example EurSwap 6M) you need a discount curve [$]D[$] (example EURO OIS) as input.Discount curve [$]D[$] does not depend on forwarding curve [$]i [$]: the building mechanism for [$]D[$] doesn't use forwarding curve [$]i [$]...While the forward...

I tested the c# code using Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 (with Windows XP and 7, Visual Studio 2008 and 2010).
