SABR VBA Anyone

<t>Note that Rookie 2's code is missing a bracket on the SABR3 variable sabr3 = 1 + ((((1 - beta) ^ 2 / 24) * alpha ^ 2 / (forward * k) ^ (1 - beta)) + 0.25 * rho * beta * volvol * alpha / ((forward * k) ^ (1 - beta) / 2) + (2 - 3 * rho ^ 2) * volvol ^ 2 / 24) * time should be sabr3 = 1 + ((((1 - be...
